Yes. That's...we both know that's part of it. [They're not touchy creatures, either of them. Alucard can only imagine how rough Trevor's lived before Sypha found him. Thinking of Trevor as a feral cat has happened more than once in Alucard's mind.]

Mm. Yet we both know if we weren't looking out for each other, Sypha would be beyond furious with the both of us.

[It always comes back to Sypha. Alucard lets out a soft sigh at the thought.]

But better she not be dragged into all of this either.
