[ Lisa was never able to make contact with the Belmonts, after Trevor arrived. It had been a month into his time at the castle that she took him aside to explain to him. It added complications and an urgency to the arrangements. What had been a token measure to ensure him legitimate citizenship and a title to shield him from accusations of heresy became the best chance to retrieve the Belmont archives and save generations of obscure knowledge from being lost that Lisa had. Since Lisa lost contact with the Belmonts, the Hold and its contents had been considered Trevor's property, and the property of criminals is returned to the state. The moment the Marriage papers could be signed, though, it would become Alucard's property, and every diplomatic complication could be caused by stealing from the prince of another land would apply. ]

[ Even in the people clothes that Lisa had to practically order him in to, he looks more like one of the things they might be hunting than the hunter. the fine riding clothes are hidden behind a long, ragged, fur-lined cloak that's been repaired so many times that it's unlikely any of the original material still remains. A gift from a werewolf pack, the first of his many, many nightbound foster families.
The whip is a liability in the densely wooded area, and so it's still poiled at his waist. Instead he's carrying a bow. Not his first choice, but better than getting tangled around a tree.
It takes him a moment to realise that that was probably an attempt at conversation, rather than a simply question. ]

Are you keeping well enough?
