Trevor still has a long, long way to go before he's in anything close to the shape he was in before the bite (he may not ever be, not quite, always just a little more fragile and quick to succumb to illness than he was before, but they're all trying to focus on his improving health for now rather than the fact that there may be a limit to those improvements), but he's at least in decent health again. It was after about two weeks that it was deemed safe to let him wander about the area around the castle without supervision, which was good, because much as he adores the other two he does also like being left to himself an not cooped up in the castle when it's perfectly nice outside.
He's been spending a lot of time at the old Belmont house, since then. The other two tend to leave him alone, there, and he can work in peace. And he is working. It's easy to tell that he's working on something because he's taking a frankly uncharacteristic amount of baths to hide the evidence of it. The rest of the evidence- hiding that relies upon trusting the other two not to pry into his business. Which even Sypha is fairly respectful of, at least as far as the old house is the business in question. It's kind of an open secret between the three of them - there's no real hiding it properly, but Alucard and Sypha just refrain from asking or from looking.
(The only room that sees any use that overlooks the old Belmont house is Dracula's study, because of course even in being captured and dragged across Wallachia the castle would position itself so that Dracula could watch over his old foes, and that room's thick curtains were always drawn closed.)
But he's inside today, even though the day is bright and dry, with a cooler breeze than is common this time of year that makes it perfect for work. And he is, of course, inspecting his old friend. The floor. ]
The floors are warm in winter. [ He says as Alucard walks past, apparently having given up on trying to figure this shit out himself. ] How does that work?
