I can flatten them if they're so worried about it.
[ a shrug. he'd briefly blunted his teeth because he'd been trying to court rip for a contract that would keep her in line, but he usually doesn't. still, if someone wants to get their junk near his fangs, more power to them.
he definitely doesn't want to move. like, keep doing it or whatever. ]
[Since it does feel weird to be in this sort of position and not do anything with his hands, he does eventually settle his fingers absently through Alucard's hair.
Why do all vampires have such nice hair? It's unfair.]
You might want to put that on your want ad.
[God, he had almost forgotten those had been ... a thing.]
[ oh, he's definitely part cryptid. mostly cryptid, really. cameras must be special here because he normally doesn't show up in photographs and he's used the video function here just fine.
weird. ]
That's helpful. [ a beat. ] I like Teddy.
[ he's so small. and cute. but also sassy. alucard digs it. ]
Of course. The way they're treating half the population reminds me of one of the wars I fought in, and it's an uncomfortable thing. Even small things can help.
I used to pride myself on looking so approachable that people would get lured in. I think I got soft when I stopped doing that. So it's probably ruined already.
[ he laughs then, a sharp little thing. ]
Shit, it's so fun. She shakes like a leaf. [ you're so mean alucard, but also, she's a nazi. ] As long as I'm not hurting her I can do it in person, even if she runs after.
Mm. Well, I'll make sure and hit her extra hard the next time I have the chance.
[Because hey, that sounds distressingly similar to the way his entire family was slaughtered, so that makes their grudge personal-by-technicality now, right?
Alucard seems, if little else, less flat than when he'd arrived. He'll count it as a win.]
Good idea, since I can't. I think she's going to sign with Integra though, she wants my leash tightened so she can put a caveat in her contract about it probably.
[ that's not going to stop him, because integra will keep his orders vague enough for him to play with, so there's that. she's good for that, letting him have that little bit of leeway he wants.
he is feeling marginally better, or at least distracted. it's helping. ]
[H e h yeah, from what Alucard has said about Integra he doesn't know how much that's actually going to help the woman. He's definitely not going to try and warn her, though.]
You can just live vicariously through me.
[Trevor, for his part, is more or less content to stay on the couch like this with people he knows well, but he thinks it might be a bit -- odd, for Alucard. Still, he won't hurry the vampire out the door (or wherever he might be going).]
Unfortunately. From what I know of you, I'm sure your methods will be plenty effective.
[ the pop kind of reminds him of their positioning and he figures his weight is like, part of why that was necessary, or at least keeping their position so long.
so he sits up a little, but not enough to move far away. just getting the brunt of his body off of him. ]
I'll have to make a point to make you say it more often, then.
[He's teasing. Is he teasing? This place is making him into a terrible person, he thinks, because even with just a little alcohol in him he's speaking much more freely than he ever would have at home.
He grins, though, and looks at the vampire's glass.]
[ he's raised one eyebrow and his voice is a little low. he'd better not be teasing, damn it, he's already joked about threesomes and he's gonna get real blatant if this continues.
when trevor looks down at his glass alucard drains the rest of the whiskey in it, then shrugs. ]

[Or maybe the ones who are. He doesn't know people's fetishes.
He'll definitely kinkshame, though.
At least Alucard doesn't seem like he wants to either move or object to the touches. That's -- good.]

no subject
his hair is absolutely unfair, though it does sometimes have a mind of his own. ]
I think I shouldn't be surprised those are a thing.
[ but he hadn't even thought about it. ]
no subject
He rolls his eyes.]
I guess I can't even complain about them, since their randomization thing paired me up with Teddy.
no subject
weird. ]
That's helpful. [ a beat. ] I like Teddy.
[ he's so small. and cute. but also sassy. alucard digs it. ]
no subject
Ah, that's where I saw the scarf before.
[He manages a smile that's genuine and soft.]
I'm glad to have him here, yeah. He's -- I'm glad to make sure he's got somewhere safe to go.
no subject
[ he nods slightly, 'hm'ing in agreement. it's a nice thing. ]
I feel that way about a couple of the people I've met already. [ a laugh. ] I've gotten soft in my old age.
no subject
[Because he knows Teddy could take those people out, but he'd get into a shitton of trouble over it.]
Is that so? Well, I won't tell anyone.
no subject
[ a shrug. ]
Good, I have a reputation to uphold.
no subject
[He's smirking again, settling his arm to rest over Alucard's shoulder and over against his chest.]
You'll have to double your efforts to terrorize Rip. No way around it.
no subject

He shakes his head, dropping his chin to Alucard's shoulder.]
I'd tell you you're an asshole, but I'm pretty sure she deserves whatever she gets. Weird fucking vibe on that one.
no subject
it's nice, subject matter aside. ]
Well, she was complacent to and aided in the murder of more innocent people than even I could fathom, so I feel she deserves it.

[ alucard is... content here for now, but he's bad about not getting antsy. he'll probably start fidgeting soon, but for now he's fine.
he's thoughtful, too. ]
I'd make some suggestions, but really I'd just bite her.
no subject
[Also ... probably less effective.
Also also ... gross. He doesn't want her to get the wrong idea or something weird.
Trevor finally leans his head back to at least stretch his neck to the side, letting out a slight pop. Whew, human joints are terrible.]
I'll have to regale you with tales.

I'm not drunk this time.
[ it was a yes or no question, alucard. ]
no subject
[If there's any whiskey left in his own glass, he empties it before he sets his own down.
Well, this seems to be happening.]
And that's not an answer.
no subject
[ he sets his glass down as well, glancing at it briefly before turning his attention back to trevor.
it sure as hell does. ]
It doesn't have to be the tub.
[ welp. is he compartmentalizing? yes. does he need a distraction? yes. is he very much hitting on trevor right now? yes. ]
no subject
[He's not so familiar with the 'compartmentalization' part of things in exactly this way, but he's willing to be a distraction.]
Well, I also have a perfectly functional shower.
[He's teasing, now, evident as he leans in to close the distance between them and catch Alucard's lips.]
