Farther Father.

[stoneup]

daddy deux

[reposing]

Oh that's terrible.

Double Dad.

[stoneup]

...but like, it's a little weird right

that's not just me?

[reposing]

No. It's very odd.

He seemed to have mixed feelings about having potential children from another reality. Even if it's not him, but it's also him. A possibility, a notion. He isn't my family, but he's

something to me. And I don't really know how to deal with that.

Much less with him drunk in your bathtub.

[stoneup]

it's a lot easier to be sympathetic with him than i was expecting it to be.

he's got the same fucked up Wallachian life as the rest of us.

[reposing]

I know. But I also had the unfair advantage of being aware of him before you did, so I suppose the shock's not as much as it would've been otherwise.

Is it some kind of rule? You're Wallachian, so fuck you.

[stoneup]

yeah, i guess you didn't bring him up when we were talking about Integra.

probably. god hates Wallachia, remember?

[reposing]

In fairness, I didn't think he would arrive, honestly. I suppose I foolishly thought that a powerful Dracula would not be drawn to this place. Beyond what Sir Hellsing told me, I know about him from Rip. Frankly, I'm not concerned about him.

No, just Sypha.

[stoneup]

you know that if any of us would be able to function without the others, it would be her.

we'll get back to her, Alucard.

[Or he'll literally die. Either way.]

[reposing]

[it was supposed to be a joke. a very sad one, but he does miss her intensely. but no more or less than trevor must.]

I know. She's able to take care of herself just fine.

It does often feel like I am lacking without her.

[stoneup]

she does deserve a break from us, anyway.

[Okay, see, he can also make very sad jokes.]

at least you know better than to let me try and cook for us without her.

[reposing]

It's true.

[sigh!!]

I was there when you tried to cook the rabbit I caught.

I couldn't forget that so easily.

[stoneup]

i just wanted to make sure it was cooked!

[reposing]

It was also charcoal.

[stoneup]

i...can't argue with that.

[reposing]

How the hell did you survive so long your own without having a clue how to cook your own kill?

[stoneup]

charcoal is still technically edible.

[reposing]

I have no idea how you've been alive all this time.

[stoneup]

a lot of luck, remember?

[reposing]

Evidently. And fortunately.

[stoneup]

oh yes, very fortunately. what would the world do without a belmont?

[reposing]

Fuck the rest of the world. I don't know where I'd be without you.

[stoneup]

[He'd been debating whether he ought to wait a few days to ask Alucard whether he'd seen his father or not. Who knows whether the vampire is even going to be around for long?

Alucard's answer to his question makes his decision for him, though, and he's knocking lightly at the back door of the dhampir's house a few minutes after he receives it. No message back, he's just -- shown up.]

[reposing]

[It surprises him that Trevor is just coming over after the conversation like that. There's a puzzled expression on Alucard's face when he opens the door, stepping aside to let him inside.]

Trevor?

[...Maybe he shouldn't have said that. Maybe it was too forward after all. Maybe he was wrong.]
