Dreams are A Haven where We Sin without Consequence --

[ Harker seems confused, losing track of 

Their Conversation, of the intent laying behind Van Helsings' relentless sharp and probing Questions, and The Reasons for them -- 

"Why is she asking me that and how can she know that which was in My Mind on that night all those weeks ago now, previously, that which I myself I forgoten until just now at that very instant..!? What else can or could she know of Me or of the contents of my own person or of my character, up to and including all that now weighs most heavily upon my very own Damned & Wretched, Wicked Outlaw Soul...?" 

Van Helsing :

-- You longed for her.

Harker : 

....One longs for 

The Solace of Home.

Van Helsing :

One longs, certainly.

Tell Me more 

about Your Dream.

HARKER:

......It is private.

Van Helsing :

Your ache for her.

You were together 

in Your Dream.

HARKER:

I-I don't...

This is not...

GASPS

HISSES

Sexual GASPS AND PANTS

Van Helsing :

There is no Shame in it....

Dreams are A Haven where 

We Sin without Consequence --

Believe ME, I know --

Some mornings, I can hardly 

Look Sister Rosa in The Face --

(He doesn't rise to take The Bait;

He remains only very Dimly and 

quite Dunning-Krugerishly-unaware

that Bait of any sort is even there, 

on the premises of Van Helsing's Convent,

much less on offer to him, right here, right now 

in this very exact precise present-Moment --)

HARKER :

.....What You asked 

before, if I'd...

Van Helsing :

....if You'd ever had 

sexual intercourse

with Count Dracula.

HARKER:

-- Mm. Why 

Did You ASK that?

Van Helsing :

Clearly, You have 

been contaminated 

with something;

Any Contact 

You've had with

Count Dracula,

sexual or otherwise,

is therefore relevant.

BREATHES UNSTEADILY
