[There are so many things that happen in Alucard's head at once. The obvious one is the heartbreak of hearing it, and that shows on his face. All the fear from before, the fear he choked back because they didn't have the time to deal with it a year ago, that's there. It's tempered with the terrible desire to drag Trevor close, and that same look on his face that Alucard had when the two confessed Sypha's horrible brush with a witchcraft accusation. (There is no nightstand to scratch.)
The pain. The particulars. They are an answer to why his mother was never turned, why his father probably never entertained the thought. Trevor's mention of how long turnings can take, why it was he couldn't resist, Alucard suspects it has nothing to do with that and everything to do with whose blood it was. Old and ancient and powerful and corrosive as hell. His father's blood would probably have a similar effect.
His fingers brush over the blanket. Trevor isn't done, so holding onto Trevor isn't an option.
But the part that surprises him most is the giving up that much power. The part that was convinced good could come of it. Words he'd never thought to associated with turning. Words that a Belmont probably wouldn't either. Strange words, and so very, very chilling.
Alucard's not going to force Trevor to meet his eyes, but there is a question in his: is there more?]
