⠀⠀he rolled his eyes at alucard’s suggestion of a circus . but against his own better judgement, he couldn’t help the small laugh that escaped him , “ you know i might be amenable to jumping through rings of fire if i’m properly compensated . maybe i’ll even learn to dance . “ trevor glanced over to sypha , expression softening , “ no . erm . sypha wants to go back to her troupe. and i know my way back to gresit , so i’ll probably tag along . “
⠀⠀ that easily has sypha launching into an explanation of how she wants to travel around wallachia so that she can get a better understanding of the country they’re in . admits that while the speakers are nomadic , they’re slow in their travel .
⠀⠀ trevor scratched his beard , propping his chin on a hand , “ i’ll probably tag along with sypha , “ he added , “ i want to get better with my throwing knives , and the way sypha talks i’m sure she’ll get into enough fights so i can practice . “
⠀⠀ the conversation dies down to an easy calm , sypha letting out a yawn and excusing herself to go to bed . patting her stomach and thanking trevor for the soup . trevor gave her a nod , waving her a ‘bye’ as she headed off to sleep . it goes silent between trevor and alucard without sypha to buffer their conversation . and trevor is too tired for quips right now . instead , he cleared his throat , “ look . are you sure you’ll be alright ? in . . . well . “ he gestured at the tall ceiling to make a point , “ i can’t even go to the belmont hold without convincing myself i’m supposed to be there . can you live in the house where we killed your father ? "
╱╱ is it a bit out of character for trevor to ask alucard a vulnerable question at this stage ? yes . but oh well .
