"No," he agrees quietly, "I do not think he is, though whatever base stock he was made from is probably at least modeled from them. The ears, you see."
He breathes out.
"I was glad to hear he rebels. That he has it in him to rebel. But I will need to find out more to ensure he can... sustain outside of this place without Belos's influence."
A soft shake of his head as he pulls up Trevor's chart just to take a look. He hasn't checked it in the last ten seconds and its something to do with his hands.
"He kept trying to make me kill him."
But he has already harmed one of his boys in his rage. He will not repeat that mistake. Especially since he's never felt a weight like the heaviness of it around his neck.
Trevor's main preoccupation had always been with Hunter, not Belos. Belos was one of a thousand evil-minded bastards Trevor had faced down back home, albeit one with significantly more power than what he was used to.
He glances over curiously at his chart in Dracula's hands but there's no hope of seeing it from here.
So Belos isn't a witch either. What the fuck is he if he had to hack at his ears? Because that particular strain of bastard feels very human.
"Well," he says a touch tiredly, "as he will no doubt run at the sight of me..."
He lets his shoulders sink.
"I might spend some time in the library, for all that it has been gutted. Perhaps I'll be able to investigate some things using the information he gave me. Evidence won't convince Hunter... but it will make me more prepared when he's ready to consider it."
"I was a powerful being who resembled him, a witch," and he runs a finger along the point of his ears, "willing to give him a staff much like what he was familiar with. Some days, I question if that was wise for any number of reasons, but I'd rather remove a limb from myself than take it from him now."
"I've seen it," he says with a shake of his head. Oh no, they're not falling down that hole. "And once he no longer thinks it's a betrayal of Emperor Belos, I'm sure we'll see it a great deal more."
[An audible snort, then he covers his mouth to cough. Stupid death toll]
Please. 'Course I'll be careful
[Carefully ignoring how the last time he and Hunter had a serious conversation, it ended with Trevor hanging Hunter out a window and nearly dropping him to his death]

"Human, I would assume. He smelled human, for all the magic carved into his skin."

Fuck.
So what's the plan now?

Want me to talk to him?

He sighs.
"One which does not so much resemble his abuser."

No wonder he latched onto you so quick.

No, don't remove the weapon. I've got an idea that'll drive him into your shitty vampire embrace again.

He holds up a hand.
"And I trust... whatever you have planned. Though I will say that I appreciate the trust you have in me, herding him so."

That Hunter is... has been taken as his.

Anyway. Once I'm up I'll put something in the kid's head. Don't be surprised if you hear shit from him later, I'm good at lying when I have to.

He gives a very flat look.
"Don't do anything that would damage the boy's trust in you either."

I'd settle for healthy first. You're never going to get happiness out of that kid.
