He nods, but Trevor is already working under the assumption that if he has a choice, he'll be the one to stay the longest. Too many assholes leaving on their own and asking him to look out for those who are left behind.
"All right. Yeah. And you should probably start keeping notes or a journal or something about all the things he's going to miss out on here, because he's probably going to have questions and I don't have the head to remember facts and dates."
"And someone has to leave a journal behind for the next Belmont to wind up here." Her hand squeezes slightly on his, but she's relaxing further, her free arm folded under her head as she looks at him.
"We'll find one you don't hate in the next port, then," she says reasonably, smiling at him. "But would you have believed that journal came from your family, if it had not come with the whip?"
"I might've." He argues, with a grin. "It had my crest, it needed your magic to open. Whatever future descendants - or hell, future ancestors - show up here, they're not getting my whip. That goes to Simon and whatever other brats come after him."
He tilts his head, giving Sypha a curious look back.
"Now why would you want to know how to sling around a whip when you've got magic? Yours has more range, more power, you don't need to remember to take it with you on pee breaks.."
"Holy terror." He repeats under his breath, imagining it with a grin as he pushes Sypha's hair back away from her face.
"Come to think of it, there's probably some texts in the Hold about lighting the whip on fire. It's blessed, so it can't catch it, because it tends to explode on contact with demons. Wonder if we can try that together.."
"Adrian's gonna be living forever. We can't wrestle his sword away from him. Plus the fucking thing's like six feet long. No grown human's capable of swinging it with any accuracy."

"It might not stick around in a cabin. We'll have to plant it in the library. And enough beer to kill a wild boar."

"Fuck, he's going to be a brilliant kid. All right - later on, we'll start practicing. Figure out how to mix both in without running into each other."

God, he's grinning at the idea.

"Weeeell, I mean. Weapons are kind of my thing. Plus I wanted to see if I could get it to telepathically respond to me the way it does him."

"Soon. We'll see him again soon."
Re: After Bang!
"Yeah. At least we'll always know where he is. That castle's hard to miss."
