[ It's been about a week since Halloween. Trevor has been kept in quarantine, which at first seems like Dracula being unreasonable. Then comes Actual Surgery, which seems like Dracula being even more unreasonable until he cuts a flower out of Trevor, applying a poison to its stem to kill the roots he can't cut out of the heart. He hands it to Sypha and coolly demanding that she toss it into the fireplace and then burn it until nothing is left.
(A means of spying on the castle, he informs Alucard later. The parasite sees and hears through the host's eyes and ears. Given the chance to grow fully, it can crush the host's heart if extraction is attempted. The fair folk are sore losers.)
Trevor remains unconscious, or else full of so many painkillers that he may as well be, for most of the week. Between the time in the land of the fae and the surgery, he has a lot to recover from. Eventually, he's well enough that the doses can be lowered a little. A little after that, he starts to seem more aware of his surroundings. And a little after that, he reaches out to catch Alucard's hand as he passes the bed. ]
You're- [ He pauses, losing his train of thought for a moment. ] -really pretty.
