[ A moment, and then Trevor is replaced by a cloud of moths, all of them flying after Sypha. The men do fall in line, ready to follow any authority they can find and unwilling to challenge a nobleman.
The two of them arrive at the hideout before Alucard does. By the time he next knocks, Sypha has complained herself hoarse (they were arguing that women shouldn’t be permitted to read at all, not just the forbidden books) and is instead lying against Trevor’s chest, working out the embers of her anger by twisting the fur of his collar into short, messy braids. The Belmont’s smile could end winters.
Sypha pulls away from him when Alucard enters, checking him for injury. ]
