You're not that stupid. [He tries to drive the point home, pressing a kiss to Trevor's forehead. It doesn't escape Alucard that his hand is still in Trevor's. Which, good. That's right.]
I gave her the townhouse address by disguising it as patronage for her tarot reading, since the castle was...not an option, after we first met. Too raw. [It still is, and that damned anniversary will be coming up soon.] I had bled all over her robes, and owed her recompense for that and the fact she managed to stitch up the thing on my chest.
Recompense also became dinner, and we spoke of what cards I had pulled. [Alucard remembers which three, but they're not the point.] She did nothing to influence it, and asks for my palm to see if there might be something there that aligns with what was pulled instead.
[He squeezes Trevor's hand again.]
She just wanted to see if I could be fooled into letting me hold her hand.
