"It doesn't seem like nothing, if you do not mind me saying so. You almost fainted, back there."
*Dracula looked very concerned.*
"You can tell me what it is."

*Sylvia looked to the door.*
"I...I really should get this to Diana..."
*She took a few steps and paused, not looking back to him.*
"It was just my corset...sometimes I don't get enough air. That's all."

*Dracula glanced at Sylvia and with his look he told her that he didn't believe her.*
"Perhaps you should fire your dressmaker."

*Sylvia sighed gently in defeat.*
"Perhaps...I am not accustomed to the demands of this job."

*Dracula nodded.*
"I can imagine how hard it would be for a woman like yourself, so delicate and filled with beauty to have to do a job that is most of the times harsh and ugly.*

"My lord is too kind, as always. But it is my job now, so I should do it."
*Sylvia managed to make it out of the room and back to Diana, handing her the requested medicine with a faint smile.*
"Here. I'll be back in the storage room if you need anything else."
*She made her way back into the hall quickly, nearly bumping into Dracula in passing. Looking up for a moment, her lips parted, but she looked away again and to the storage room.*
"Pardon me, your Highness."

"I should probably stay here, so I can find out what happens to that girl. But I couldn't just stand helpless at her bed. So perhaps?"
*Dracula looked at the storage room and back at Sylvia.*
"I could help you for a while."

*Sylvia opened her mouth to answer, to tell him to just go wait, but then she shut it again. She swallowed and took a deep breath.*
"Of course, your Highness. But I'm not doing anything that befits a man of your station. It's only folding linens and shifting boxes of supplies."

"I think that even a prince is able to shift boxes and fold linen."
*Dracula said mockingly as he entered the storage room.*
"At least, those that aren't to busy using their hands to squeeze the life out of their people."

*Sylvia looked up with a slightly disturbed look.*
"My lord? Do you...I mean, is that a common issue for you?"

"Not every noblemen is noble. I have fought against many that rather ruled over a country of beggars and orphans then healthy land. You seem to think, my dear Sylvia, that with a title comes a sense of righteousness."
*Dracula pulled of his hand gloves and layed them down on a shelve.*
"You are wrong."

*Sylvia turned away, pulling some towels out of a hamper with the intention to fold them, but she did not actually get that far.*
"I am sorry, your Highness, if I have offended you with my ignorance. It was not my intention."

"No, have not offended me, you just made me remember a time when I thought the same. When I was still young and innocent."
*Dracula turned to Sylvia as he rolled up his sleeves.*

And you are not innocent anymore?
*Sylvia bit her lip and began folding. Her voice shrunk, like a young girl that was worried of saying the wrong thing in confession.*
"Sir...why are you here? I mean...I know why you're here, but...why Paris? Did something happen...in your homeland?"

*Dracula nodded as he picked up a towel and started to fold it.*
"Yes, many things happened. Times changed, people changed. It was no longer the same country it was when I was a young boy."
