[ She wonders if it really is fine. Not so much that Alucard minds--he's deflecting with humor, after all, but what does that mean for him? He's an expert, he says, him and Trevor both. It's not really something to be proud of but this is their life now. They are, all of them, well-acquainted with grief, but some more than others. She wishes it weren't so, but even her most powerful magic can't change the past.
At some point she disentangles herself very carefully, just enough to lift her head without poking Alucard with her horns. Her fingers graze over his cheek and she smiles at him, eyes still watery but more hopeful now, at least. Her tail remains tightly curled around him. ]
Thank you, my friend. I didn't mean to... no, never mind.
