He'd been there all my life. All my sister's lives, too. He was the one who baptised us. They put a bag over his head to hide his face when they took him away for witchcraft - found forbidden books in the church. My father was demanding that they free him the whole time.
[ There's a distant sort of look in his eyes, the one he gets when he's vanishing into himself a little. He wasn't expecting this to be so easy to say. ]
I don't know what they did to him, but he named our family to make them stop. Acted as witness at the trials.
[ He wants to say more, but he can't really bring himself to. That's all that he needed to say. All Alucard needed to know. He just pulls himself closer to him, holding him close. ]
I'll be right, give me a couple days. We know what playing dirty looks like, now. We can be ready for it.

It was probably his head or yours. He was awful enough to value his life over that of his parish.
[He kisses Trevor's forehead.]
You were right not to tell me. I would have done something counterproductive.

[A couple more days. Alucard hums softly to show he has heard and understood. They can't get closer to each other now.]
We can. And we will arrange it so you can have easier exits if they're needed.
