"Alright, alright," Van Helsing muttered. "I understand. But a vampire that hasn't heard of me? That's odd. I'd love to meet him."
Van Helsing frowned, not sure how to show his pity or sympathy. "Edward will be fine," he tried. "He won't let anything happen to you, and all of us will help him if he needs it. Lestat..." he let the name roll off his tongue. "Sounds French. I'm assuming he's like John, not you or Jinx?"
Van Helsing listened carefully, trying not to interrupt.
"Elijah shot you a second time," Van Helsing muttered. "Is Edward alright?"
"What a wierd girl!" Van Helsing sighed.
"Look, if you're not going to help or share or tell the truth to all of us anymore about what's going on, just go watch Edward sleep and stay quiet," Van Helsing snapped despite the dirty look Jinx gave him.
Van Helsing was mildly surprised. "Oh, nothing," he muttered casually. "I'd just rather you and your boy toy stop insulting my horse's handling of the carriage. It's the road."
"D.amn right," Van Helsing muttered quietly. "I'd love to see her come up here."
"Shut up, Edward!" Van Helsing snapped, hearing his last comment clearly. "Walk, then!"
"No problem," Van Helsing muttered. "I can handle that... but I do have a theory relating to you..."
"How do you think they're doing?" Van Helsing asked after a moment. "They're talking very quietly, aren't they?"
'I try," Van Helsing sighed. "I don't mean to bother you with that fact, either. I won't be inside your head all the time."
"I can sometimes," he confirmed. "It comes and goes... and I couldlisten as clear as a bell if I wanted to, but I'm not that rude; they deserve to talk in private a bit."
"Maybe," Van Helsing muttered. "I could just argue instead..."
"I haven't yet," Van Helsing smirked. "I don't want to yet... no reason."
"Careful," Van Helsing muttered, though a smile still stuck to his face. "You won't still say that when I can hear your thoughts..."
"I knew that," Van Helsing pouted. "And I have more than decent hearing... it's just the wind..."
"My pleasure," Van Helsing muttered, trying his best to listen for Edward with no luck
"Well, thank you for that, dear," Van Helsing smiled. "Very random and odd, but thank you anyway."
"Black, I would guess," Van Helsing replied, trying not to laugh at her serious expression. "Another why is coming to mind, though."
