It has been a foolish question, Arthur realizes that the moment the words leave his mouth. None of them is sleeping particularly well, especially not after the most recent events. The young lord senses Quincey’s growing restlessness and the deep concern in Van Helsing’s and Jack’s faces as they are searching for solutions. 

But the worst part is seeing Mina getting paler with every passing day. This time Arthur recognizes the signs, he knows what is going to happen and it terrifies him. Lucy’s death is still omnipresent for all of them, it haunt him each night and he cannot bear the thought of losing yet another dear person in an equally horrible way. While the poor woman herself radiates as much hope as she can and keeps a gut-wrenching smile on her lips, her husband suffers much more visibly. Harker faces the same truth that he did and Arthur feels an endless amount of pity for both him and Mina. They too keep him awake and therefore guarding their door hardly seems like a sacrifice to him, if this is the only little comfort he can offer. 

“You are right. And I’m afraid there will be no peaceful sleep for us until this whole matter can be brought to an end.” They would not rest unitl then, with this danger still waiting in the shadows. The assurance, that his attempt hasn’t been completely in vain, that she  even missed such dull conversations, made Arthur return her smile as genuinely as he possibly could. “Dearest Mina, should you ever desire a little talk about the weather or London’s finest hosts - I’ve been rather well trained in these subjects.” 

“ everything i’ve done,  i’ve done for you.   you starve and near-exhaust me.  ”    anger fueled him,   sadness filled him.   it was like being terror itself in a rural village graveyard.   invariably feared,   striking within mortals a quick but strong revulsion at the sight of the death that had become his VERY NATURE. his diabolical smile had turned into a marring frown,   and the deep lines in his marble features had become so saturated with the depth of his emotion that they seemed almost fragile compared to moments before.

@wmina​​ said: “Is there anything left in this case, that could surprise me?”

“I doubt that, dear Mina. Or rather - I hope not.” After all there had been enough surprises  and new revelations in this whole dreadful affair. The last one, involving Mina Harker and her forced bond with the monster himself, had surely been the most severe stroke though. Arthur’s heart harboured deepest pity for both the woman infront of him and her husband and his gaze revelealed the sincere worry he felt.

@wmina​.  /  “can you walk?” for quincey!!

          recovery had been frustratingly slow. quincey had always been an active man, to say the least; hardly a day went by when he was not hiking, working, or riding, and there were few things that he hated more than forced idleness. 

         being confined to a hospital bed for the past week, therefore, had not exactly sat well with him. it was fortunate, van helsing had dryly remarked on the fourth day, that few of these hungarian nuns understood english, as it meant they could not grow weary of quincey’s constant tirades against them for keeping him confined. the few nuns and doctors who did comprehend english had certainly taken to throwing him rather scathing looks after the twelfth time he insisted he was well enough now to walk all the way back to england. 

         at long last, the day came when both seward and the attending hungarian surgeon begrudgingly agreed that he could attempt to get his legs back under him. shuddering and weak from this continued lack of exercise, quincey, much to his mortification, had to be helped up to his feet with mina under one arm and seward under the other, but once he had managed to get himself upright, he wasted little time in unwinding himself from around their shoulders.
