I took him to the pool here and he made most of it freeze up. Said that you were going to teach him fire next, but we didn't think it was a great idea to try now, in a wooden boat.
[Off-topic. She stops herself, because they are definitely talking about more important things. She scoots over so she can lean against his shoulder, pulling his cloak around her too.]
My teacher started me with ice. It's safest. Relatively. Then wind. Then fire. Tell me more about him. What did he say about how he lives? Is he happy?
[He grins, warm and inviting in a smile meant only for Sypha. Trevor draws his arm around her]
He definitely seems it. I had taken him hunting for rabbits the day before, and the day he came here he was supposed to be taking history lessons with you and purposely got lost instead.
[It's absent, the way her hand touches her stomach. There's nothing to feel, no bump.]
If he was an illusion, and I am not believing he was, because- I knew he was here. I don't feel as if I were gone at all, but the moment I returned, I knew he had been here, had spent time here. But if he was an illusion, why?
That's what I thought too, the first time I saw him. I shouted at him about his wife kicking him out of Hell, and when he didn't try to rip my head off or even attack me, I figured it was just an illusion.
Maybe you showing up is what pushed him over the line. Whatever the line is. [A poke in the ribs.] Dracula couldn't let himself be in the same straits as a Belmont.

What did you talk to him about?
no subject
Whatever he wanted. How he ended up here, what he was doing before, how he can make ice, lunch.
Sorry you didn't get to see him yet.

What was he doing?

I can't even be angry I didn't get to see him. I am so glad you did.

Well, from what I understand it, you won't have long to wait. This is just going to be a really....really long pregnancy.
Weird to think I'm destined to get out of here and raise him. That, or the fucking Necromancer conjured up the cruelest illusion.

To guilt me into accepting the conjurer's offer? Show me everything I want to have and all I'd have to do is give in.
I mean. Simon was very tempting. And his sister.
no subject
Sister!
no subject
Her name's Misha. She's four, according to Simon. I was teaching her how to ride a pony.
[Two of them. They have two children]

Any more surprises, Trevor Belmont?
no subject
Or that he calls that broody vampire Uncle Adrian?
Or that I might have...inadvertantly named Dracula an honorary grandfather?
Sorry. It's a lot.
no subject
... and the third is less of one than I am really prepared to deal with.

...That's when I tried to stake him.

He wants me to call him Vlad.

Vlad.
Grandpa Vlad.

What does Simon call you? I call my father Orenz. Because that's his name, and I've met him three times.
