Lestat x MinaVC x Dracula
"She might have," Mina argued though she knew it wasn't going to do much good, "If he'd found a way to show her proof, she might have."
Mina stared at the food, reliving the words her own father wrote, "And it's not just....the idea that Lucy and Jonathan got pulled into my family's bullshit. It's not just that I unknowingly followed in his footsteps because didn't tell us. It's what he wrote about the torture. I don't think....he even felt bad he did it. He wrote wonderings about his soul but there's not even really regret or horror there. And I suppose I'm jsut having difficulty reconciling that my father could do that. Even at their worst, I don't torture them, Lestat. Not unless it's to get information. He did it because he could. My first human kill was a hunter that did that."
And this was the man she looked up to?
It was never a question of wondering if her father loved her or anything like that. It was the question of the scar he'd left on the world coming back to haunt them all.
"I just wish he was alive," she whispered
"Mina, she would not have because it would have been considered insanity to believe in this. Look at all the scientists who try to prove we exist, werewolves, and even big foot. They are considered quacks. They loose their credentials and careers even though they have valid proof. It does not matter how the proof is presented." Lestat told her.
"I tried to change it but it was all written off as stunts and illusion. There is nothing we can do to change that mindset. There is not enough proof that would ever make it acceptable to the public and scientific community. It is not something that people can live with comfortably." Lestat pats her hand. "No one is perfect Mina. We are all flawed beings. Most humans who do know about us do not think we deserve humane treatment. Back then it would have probably been normal to torture us. Look at how they treated witches. I am sorry you lost him and miss him."
