I woke up feeling a little strange, but when I was at the market, a Prismal tripped and skinned their elbow a good ways down the street from me. And I smelled it.
[And then there’s this. She’s been loathe to mention any stories from on the road, always the possibility of coming back to your parents are in hell. The monks and their plot are important to tell him, but not yet. She can’t.]
It hasn’t changed, but all three of us are here now, aren’t we? You aren’t...separate from us, in any way, just because Trevor and I went out on the road.
True, but I also grew up with it. Curiously, I told Jojo once that while one experiences Sanguis, it's a bit like being a vampire, really. The enhanced senses, being territorial, that sort of thing. What I might suggest is carrying something with a stronger smell that you can pay attention to. A pouch of lavender, perhaps. Or a belonging of someone's.
Of course I would! Granting whimsical blessings is just rather close for my comfort. Belnades, ready to smite you from the heavens above if you displease me!
Anyway. I realized that, too, the similarities. That's why I thought I'd come to you. I've been holed up in my apartment, everything smelled so much. And...the feelings are curious, too. It isn't like I'm changed completely, but avoiding the instinct is like having to push a bolder uphill. I need more time to learn to work with it. I'm sure everyone does, at first.
I could carry around Trevor's wretched cape! Honestly, if I could smell it even more than I usually can, I might pass out. Lavender should be enough. Perhaps some fresh mint.

You two were traveling together last I recall. Unless that has changed? [No, he's being petty. He knows he's being petty.]
don’t mind me just replying in the wrong place

So you two haven't eloped? What a waste of a road trip, alas. I thought Trevor might finally have decent influence in such a way.

[And normally, she'd follow that up asking for a few pointers, but. Well, there's this elephant in the fucking room.]
What's gotten into you? If you have a problem, I'd have thought you were the type to make it known sooner.

Are you...jealous?

I met Jotaro. He was testing me. Asking how much I really knew about you. Why is that?
no subject
He doesn't remember, does he?
I hardly know why. I don't read his mind, despite whatever you've heard about vampires.
no subject
Why does it concern you what he remembers, anyway?
no subject
It concerns you more, I should think. How I fit into doesn't matter.
no subject
And speak for yourself. We care about you, Aluca
Wait.
no subject
What is it?
no subject
[That's...kind of sickeningly cute, actually. But no matter. She's still not exactly happy with her friend.]
Anyway. Sorry, I just thought of something.
Alucard. Do you...still want me calling you Alucard?
no subject
...I don't know. Does it still feel right?
no subject
Besides. How did you put it? "It concerns you more, I should think?"
[You aren't the only one who can be a little petty, friend.]
no subject
I don't think I'd mind if you'd called me that.
no subject
Adrian.
I'll...probably need time to get used to it. But if you'll allow me, I want to try. You deserve that much. More, even.
But you need to let me know if you do mind. Alright?
no subject
...And I'm sorry. For my behavior.
no subject
Adrian, do you mind if I ask you another favor? About Sanguis.
no subject
Certainly. What of it?
no subject
But I figured you would have some experience dealing with enhanced senses.
It's...a lot. Nauseating, actually.

You will adjust, I think. Fighting against instinct is something we all learn, one way or another. Even I have had adjustments for Iris.
That terrible thing. Yes, I'd avoid wearing it. Might be a bit much, but some herbs or something like it should be sufficient.
