[She's snickering when Baskerville decides he wants attention from him. Even if she was surprisingly enjoying the feel of teeth against her skin. It's just an acquired feeling.]
Apparently he's learning zome of your habits~.
[She tugs the pup back in her arms and goes back to lavishing him with attention and affection as she turns her attention back to the more serious portion of the conversation. She knew the reprogramming didn't sit well with Alucard and several others. Even she wasn't too thrilled with the idea and tried to make sure her quota was met just to avoid it.
However...She tensed up slightly, her hands going still against Baskerville, making the pup whine at her for attention as she mulled it over.]
Maybe. But, I'm not sure I vould feel comfortable sleeping on my own vith him around vhenever I need to stay here.
[That's even if he stayed with Alucard after he accepted the contract.]
I keep him apart from my more lewd habits, thank you. He learned that on his own.
[ he's not surprised when she tenses. now that he knows what's happened between them, it's a conversation they need to have if alucard is going to snare the priest as his submissive at some point.
he hums idly, shaking his head. ]
You wouldn't sleep alone. I'd stay with you when you stayed here, if he became a resident. The man's not a liar, but I don't think him above finding a 'good reason' for divine retribution. I wouldn't let you be alone with him, and doubly so if you're not comfortable.
[ he sighs, closing his eyes. ]
I planted the idea of opening a church in him. If he manages that with my help, I think he'd live there.
[She nodded, accepting that and relaxing a little. Rip really did not want to be alone with Anderson anytime soon. Learning to trust Alucard was one thing. He actively tried to put her at ease and get her over her fears.
Somehow she doubted Anderson would be interested in doing the same thing.]
Good because being alone vith him could easily end up in my death if he vas so inclined.
[And that's something she wanted to avoid at all costs.]
Vell, zhat vould keep him busy und potentially vork in your favor in zhe long run. If he agreed to be your submissive.
[ as he sits, he moves to coil an arm around her and draw her against his chest. it leaves him laying on the couch, her resting on top of him, and baskerville on top of her. like a little pyramid of trying to relax. ]
It's on our contract that I'll protect you to the best of my ability. I've killed him once, I can do it again if necessary. I don't want to have to, but I will.
[ he runs fingers through her hair slowly, pressing a kiss below her ear. ]
I'm going to keep reminding him of the city's need for charity. He's extremely pious and worked with orphans at home, I'm sure he won't be able to resist long.
[She shifts with him as she feels his arm coil around her and pull her back as he lays down. There's a slight wince from her with the motion tugging at her healing back as she settles on top of him. The wound was healing much faster than it would have if she had been on her own and now was just sore and slightly tight. Something that would go away by the next day at least.
With Rip settled on top of him, Baskerville made himself comfortable on her stomach and nuzzling her hand with his nose every time she dared to stop petting him. Such a needy adorable dog...]
I know.
[She closes her eyes as she feels his fingers through her hair and even smiles faintly at the feel of his lips just below her ear. She's.. come a long way towards trusting him. Rip hated to admit the fort played a part in that. Especially with how grounding his touch was for her now.]
If you keep him busy vith charity vork, hopefully he von't attack anyone else. Some of zhe vampires here vould stand less of a chance zhan me against him und if he attacks zhe wrong one, ozhers vill be out for his blood.
