I kind of thought you'd have at least the basics of things down.

[knows]

Did you figure everything out within a month?

[He knows how to get around, that's good enough for him.]

[fogsong]

No, but I sure as hell had the basics down. [ ...never mind she had her mom here to help her. ] Has Alucard not bothered to help you settle in?

[knows]

You think Alucard would do that?

[fogsong]

[ sharon just sighs so deeply ]

I would've hoped. [ but that makes her a fool. ] Whatever, he's a dick then.

Anyway, I need your help winning a bet against that dick. You down?

[knows]

[Trevor thinks they both know a very different Alucard.

But...]

Yes.

[He doesn't need the details, he's in.]

[fogsong]

[ His quick agreement makes her laugh out loud. ] Shouldn't you know what we have to do first? Because this bet has everything to do with you. Alucard seems to think you can't become civilized here in three months.

[ He did not detail what he meant by 'civilized' and Sharon is going to take full advantage of that. ]

[...]

I save his life and this is the thanks I get?

[knows]

[He groans.]

He also seems to have forgotten there's a wide range between civilised and nobility. I don't get kicked out of towns because of how I act.

[Yes, he has, but that's not the point.]

[fogsong]

Well, he didn't give me any idea of what he expected from a "civilized" [ those quotes are damn near audible here ] you so I figure we can take advantage of that. Maybe just get you adjusted to what life is like here. Fake a few things here and there. Get you a stupid fancy outfit that fits with Trench style. You know, that kind of shit.

And while we do that, you can tell me about how you saved his life. And... why you get kicked out of towns. Because I'm curious.

[What's wrong with what he's already wearing? Unseen, he tugs at his shirt, checking for blood stains.]

It's not much of a story, we were up against Death and I saved the day by stabbing it.

[fogsong]

Death? [ listen give her a moment. she's sputtering a little. ] Like a vampire named Death? Or... are we talking about like... the Grim Reaper?

[knows]

The thing the Grim Reaper is based on. It's not actually death, it just feeds off of it.

[fogsong]

And that's not much of a story to you? [ her voice pitches high. excuse you that is story material + ] Do you have any idea how badass that sounds!?

[knows]

[He didn't make out out alive and he left a pregnant woman behind. Neither is the kind of thing you drop on people without warning so instead he makes a noise of disagreement.]

It's part of the job.

[fogsong]

You just keep making yourself sound cooler. [ She gets why Alucard talks about Trevor the way he does but he's been giving her 'mangy but awesome stray dog' vibes. ]

[knows]

I am cool.

[Which is the fastest way to be declared otherwise. Is that his plan?]

[fogsong]

Hey, don't let it go to your head.

[knows]

You said it first.

[fogsong]

And I can take it back just like [ she snaps her fingers ] that!
