Of course, you're a friend of Alucard's, and I happen to like you just fine all on my own. [Sypha crosses her legs, sets an elbow on her knee, and her chin in her hand. He looks rattled, fidgety, and not just in a 'brimming with energy all of the time' sort of way.
It's not exactly a surprise when the latest Singularity nonsense is at the root of Jaskier's ill ease. What knocks the bottom out of her stomach is that he saw into Alucard's past, a spike of horror and denial that he might have experienced the same thing she did--but, no. A sick sort of relief overwhelms her when it turns out to be merely the other worst day of Adrian Tepes' life.
She turns her mouth against the palm of her hand and closes her eyes for a moment, simply breathing through her nose until her heartbeat evens out. Then she straightens up and folds her hands on the table.] Yes, yes I can see how...I mean, I understand how it's difficult to talk about that, with him. [She's barely managed, and she was there]
I meant what I said before: I'm at your disposal. Do you have, um, questions, or do you need to talk about how very very fucked up it is?
