"Oh, I know," Van Helsing nodded. "I can trust Edward for now. But once we get close to Dracula, he'll tell me what he's up to or I will kill him."
"A better method," Van Helsing repeated, nodding his head. "I'd love to use those girls against them, but that still leaves Lestat... he and Edward seem too close for their own good."
"Sounds like a good idea," Van Helsing replied. "If we can shake off all the idiot vampires following us. That Lestat, or whatever his name is, has no fear of me and already escaped me once. I should have killed that damned Will when I had the chance."
Van Helsing smirked. "It wasn't that interesting," he said, despite Carl's never mind. He ordered himself a drink and then turned to the friar. "Is there any clue where we should be traveling once we find this werewolf here and kill it?"
OOC: she cheated by randomly posting jake to get 3000... butts!!! Van Helsing and Carl went downstairs. "She can still drink the wine," he said to Carl, explaining Jinx's comment. "It's just... she can't hold her liquor very well."
"You all did," Van Helsing said. "No offense intended... Carl, let's go drink!"
"Oh, right," Van Helsing said, smiling. "Carl and I needed normal people food!"
"I'm hungry," Van Helsing said suddenly.
"We can wait till they're done talking to make a decision," Van Helsing said.
"It's a good idea, though," Van Helsing insisted. "Don't we have enough enemies already?"
"Who thinks we should all go out and hunt this hunter tonight and finish him?" Van Helsing asked abruptly, as soon as the door was shut. "Hmm?"
"Well, then, we'll all go next door, shall we?" Van Helsing snapped with a huge sigh, stalking to the door and holding it open. "Sorry, Jinx... Beatrice, Carl... we seemed to be dismissed again."
"Do... do you two need to be left alone or something?" Van Helsing asked, the air full of tension. "We have another room..."
"A werewolf hunter going after vampires?" Van Helsing confirmed. "Lovely. Just what we need."
"Thank you, Carl," Van Helsing began, letting Jinx be. "What happened with you two?"
"It doesn't seem like it," Van Helsing said, concerned. "Are you feeling well? Tired?"
"How are you, Jinx?" Van Helsing sighed, changing the subject and looking over at her. "Is everything alright?"
"Ah, I see," Van Helsing said, ignoring the malice in Edward's voice. "Well, in that case, when you get in over your head with all your secrets, I won't be there to help you."
Van Helsing took one of the keys from Carl and opened the door to the first room, letting the other two men in before him. He shut the door behind him. "What's the problem, Edward?" he asked immediately.
"Alright," Van Helsing said, looking sideways at Carl and shrugging, leading the way up the stairs.
