We've done it before. Might be fun, coexisting with you again. Least I don't smell like a wet shit in a ditch anymore. Honestly, Alucard, I don't know how you two put up with me.
[ There was a joyful lift in his tone, unlike the mild sorrow and uncertainty that was in it when he started the call. ]
[ He's rolling his eyes and smirking, you can hear it in Trevor's tone. ]
Alright then, let's go see what Crystal can do, yeah? I've ... I've never collected or used any of my own shards, didn't really understand the process so, if I've got any, I'll pay you them back.
[ So can Trevor, still hurts though. Knowing there was someone he couldn't save regardless. ]
I know. So, I'm not gonna waste any more time messing around here. In case it happens to one of us.
Oh, he did, I do not doubt that. Taught me to read, introduced me to 'modern living' and oh my God, Alucard, some of the foods and drinks! In fact, there's still stuff in the cottage you should try if you've not already.
Why not? Because even here, time feels short at times.
[ He means himself, Alucard... He's never been so afraid of being mortal before. ]
Well, there's this thing, grows in the ground called a Pumpkin, and if you add a little spice to it and blend it with beans and cow's milk, you get this coffee that is bitter and sweet and spicy and I could drink that all day if you'd let me.
You look the same, minus a few obvious minor details.
[ His hair, for one. Trevor rather likes how pale it is, like spun platinum silk. His complexion, too, while on anyone else it would seem pallor, but on Alucard it simply makes him look more ethereal. Or so Trevor thinks, anyway. ]
I hope you feel the same at least. Even with as much time that's passed between.

Anyway, I'm sure the crystal can arrange it. I should have enough shards for it.

[ but this is just their usual banter. there isn't any real rancor here. ]
There's no need. I have plenty of shards of my own. It should be doable.
no subject
[ Yeah, this is just them and Trevor wouldn't change it. ]
Well, if you're paying then I'm not complaining.
no subject
And I would think not. I'm sure I have more shards than you.
no subject
And what exactly is that s'posed to mean? I'll have you know, people find me delightful here!
no subject
Gathered some friends?
no subject
Ah well... I did. ... They're the friend who left me the house.
no subject
I am sorry for your loss.
But you will make new friends again.

[ He's still a bit tender from it, but he'll get over it. ]
Sure. We'll see.

. . . Sometimes we have to return to where we belong. No matter how painful.
But I'm sure he treasured the time he had with you.

Why not?
What are your discoveries?

But I'm glad you discovered something new.
no subject
[ He chuckles then. ]
Me too. Though I think I prefer the older things better.
no subject
You'd be surprised how little things change.
no subject
[ A pondering thought grips Trevor then. ]
Will I? What about you, Alucard, haven't you changed?
no subject
You would be a better judge of that than I.

If you think so, then that is proof that I am still the same.
