[In the time that Trevor is away, Alucard feels his own heart rate return to normal. That isn't a matter of skill or anything but being the son of a doctor and an alchemist and being well trained to pay attention to his body. He isn't so stupid as to ignore how intimate the act of drinking blood can be, and that is the exact word he'd use to describe what just transpired with Trevor. Intimate.

He and Sypha had discussed so much of the problem of vampires before, and how so much of their actions were easy to mistake as sexual. On purpose, of course, because you can spin a story that way to get what you need. They had also discussed the potential dangers of this, and how it would have to be a one time only thing.

Alucard is looking at one of the shelves when Trevor returns, resting his wrist up against one of the high shelves so it is still above his heart. He turns, taking the canteen first.]

Thank you. Did it sound as if anyone's approaching?
