[Trevor had always been good with the dogs. Alucard never questioned why, he just understands that right now, it's the best spot for him.
He and Theodora manage the rest of the day. The priest is still present, although the more he talks the more he seems to make the group liable. Alucard has an idea for dealing with him that strikes a careful balance, and he suggests it to Theodora in one of their breaks: find a way to mute the priest's voice through magic that is threaded along Wallachia's border. That way it is the border itself that protects, and no spell is done on the priest himself.
When they sleep, Alucard holds Trevor tighter than normal. But he does sleep, exhausted from the day's work.
Things circle around and around. Agreements are in rough draft form now, and that means Theodora is in her prime furious form. She is wonderfully in tune with the nuances of language, and knows how to edit things so that they favor Wallachia. The priest's language is obvious in some parts, and she is careful to edit them out in front of the man's eyes.
Alucard's gaze moves around the table, but every so often, he lets the toe of his boot brush over Trevor's to remind him that this will be all right. That they are almost done.]
...Who added the extradition clause?
[It's towards the end of the draft. Very fine print, but there all the same.]
