Oh, I'm so fucked.

"What the hell is this" Trevor mumbled under his breath, looking at a shattered mirror. Falael turned her head to the side from where she's standing, her eyes widen slightly at the mirror; recognizing the lettering on the side of the mirror. "You don't know?" Sypha replied, standing next to Falael with an open book. "I don't know" he replied truthfully, "This is your house." She gently closed the book, putting it where she had found it. Trevor step closer to the mirror and wiped the dust off, showing off the reflection of himself with Sypha approaching, and Falael looking at the mirror with curiosity. "Do you know everything in your house?" Trevor commented back, stepping back from the mirror while crossing his arms. "I don't have a house." She retorted raising an eyebrow at Trevor, and gave him a look. Falael sighed and was about to say something when she was interrupted, "She doesn't have a house. She's a Speaker. She's a nomad." Alucard spoke from his sitting position on top of the bookshelf with a book in his hand. "I was rhetorical." Trevor grunted, Alucard gracefully jumped off the bookshelf, landing next to where Falael was standing. "A rhetorical house that she doesn't have." He sassed back, "just tell me what it is" Trevor not in the mood to start an argument. "It was a magic mirror" Sypha spoke up looking as Alucard approaches the mirror. "Also known as distance mirrors." Alucard pointed out the lettering on the side of the mirror. "Some of them even allow matter to pass through them, but..." He continued grazing his hand down the engraving of the letters before pausing. "No. No, this is a simple remote - viewing mirror. A little of the activating language is chipped." He corrected himself before turning towards Trevor, "A few of the runes need re-cutting but workable." You have a fascinating family junkyard, Belmont." And there he goes, being a dick. "You're a cockwart, Alucard." Trevor said, glaring at Alucard while getting dragged away by Sypha. "Stop it." She paused before dragging him again, away from Alucard, leaving the elf and the half-vampire alone.

Falael narrowed her eyes at Alucard, "what?" He question, noticing her glare. "You're a dick" She simply stated before going back to analyzing the writings on the mirror. Alucard stared at her baffled, not expecting that comment at all. She silently chuckled a bit, seeing his baffled look threw the reflection of the mirror. He narrowed his eyes at her, knowing that she's no doubt amuse... Soooo he decided to be a little mischievous, hopefully he won't get killed by this. He slowly approached her, and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind - resting his chin on her shoulder, while watching her reflection on the mirror with a cheeky grin. Falael tensed from the unsuspecting contact, but slowly relaxed after realizing it was just Alucard. Falael always have been a bit self conscious with out her cloak, so the skin to skin contact was a bit unfamiliar for her. Somehow, the trio manage to convince her to have her cloak off for now, since they weren't at a public place, and she's starting to warm up on them a bit. Not that she'll admit it, or anything. She held her breath when she felt his lips grazing against her neck; cursing herself mentally for letting her guard down. She tried to hold her blush in - if possible - when he started to give her neck some light hearted kisses up and down her neck. Finally, making her face a full blown tomato.

Her heart starting to beat faster, shivers running up and down her spine, the gentle kisses he's giving her neck and shoulder, she felt like she is about to melt in his arms. She snapped out of her dazed state when she realized where she was, and started to wriggle about in his arms, trying to escape from his grasp. All she got in return was a low deep moan, making her instantly stop her movements. Her breath hitched when she felt him teasingly bite her ear, and shudder. 'did he just..' Falael cursed herself mentally, for getting into this predicament.
In an instant she teleport herself out of his arms, and onto the bookshelf - acting as if nothing happened. In that moment Trevor and Sypha walk back to the mirror where Alucard is standing, the two raise an eyebrow at his form. Shoulder slump, ragged breath, eyes glowing, and a flushed face. They look towards Falael who is on top of the bookshelf, reading a book. She ignored their stares, and continued on reading.

Falael sighed as she placed another book in the bookshelf. Currently she's looking for a book that considered about healing, wheter it be by herbs, medicine, or magic. The book that she had found back at the Alvaras temple is a dangerous summoning, every time the caster uses the summoning they loose a limb. Noted the casting is very dangerous and can only been used for emergencies. Its exactly how she had lost an arm, reasons why she would want to find a book about healing or regeneration. Preferably by magic.
She's not sure if she'll be needing to use the summoning, but its better than nothing. She unconsciously grazed her fingers over the bandages on her right arm. Placing the marks for the summoning was a pain in the ass, it took her a while to complete the process without losing focus.

She sighed once again, deciding to just explore the area since she was more focused on the books instead of looking at her surroundings. As she walks around she can't help but remember on what happened between her and Alucard. Just the thought of it made her face flush a bright red. She paused on her tracks when she saw the mirror in the distance, and a soft orange glow coming from the candle that is set on the floor. She quietly walked towards the light and stared at reflection, it was Trevor and Sypha cuddled up to each other. Sypha having her head on his shoulder and Trevors on her head. It was cute sight, making Falael smile slightly. She could also use this as blackmail incase if anything comes up, and she needed something. At the thought she smirked with a mischievous glint in her eye, she couldn't help but notice a glint in the mirror. She squinted her eye a bit, and see that it was Alucard, or rather his coat that is peaking from the opposite end of the bookshelf, and the glint comes from one of the silver buttons from his coat. She tilted her head a bit wondering why he is just standing there. She wanted to talk to him, but the thought of what happened a few hours ago flashed across her mind making her blush again. She let out a deep breath and walked towards the other side of the bookshelf, making sure to not making any noises since Trevor and Sypha are asleep. She turned the corner and saw Alucard leaning against the bookshelf with his arms cross, and his eyes seeming to be closed. She stood next to him, leaning against the bookshelf as well, and having her hands behind her back. She peered at his face, still amazed by how sculpted his face seems to be. His beauty always seems to amazes her.

Alucard shifted slightly sensing someones gaze at him. He would assume that it was Falafel considered that Trevor and Sypha are asleep. He peaked threw his eyelids, and quickly steal a glance towards her from the corner of his eye. As always she is stunning. No matter the situation she would always have this soft glow of aura around her. It soothes him, makes his emotions more calmer than it should be. He wonders if it's a sign of some sorts, it could be possible that she is his mate, but he himself doesn't even know if such things exist. The only thing he knows about mates is from a book and that's it. Like vampires everyone believes that mates are just mere myths. He himself as well believed that it was just myth and that there was no way that such things could exist... But he started to reconsider after meeting Falael. No one had ever made him feel this way, no one except her. Its odd, he first assumed that it was because she was an elf. The last of her kind, but after getting to know her and that incident that had happened a few hours ago.
His instincts are telling him otherwise.

He wants her. No, he needs her.

He'll make her his...

And that's a promise.
