--Here.
[The vial that Alucard passes over to Viktor is small, not much longer than his own thumb. He knows it is full of a terrible mix of his blood as processed and absorbed by a mouse, and it has already been noted in his own log books that the minute he removed the needle, the spot healed in the little thing immediately. The mouse has been given some blood sausage in gratitude, before being put in a pen that has a wheel and a few good spots for it to burrow.
The consistency itself is important. For the first two weeks of the work, it wasn't there. The same mouse might not heal, but it would scorn the light one day, only for it to heal instantly and have no other apparent traits the next. Nothing made sense. Every ability Alucard had manifested itself (the floating), only to wear off.
They had figured the time part out, at least. That was down to the amount of blood given. It was processed by the system of each mouse, before essentially being burned through. Fuel of a sort. Important data to have.
The mouse gets a pat on the head, at least.]
Thank you, Quincy.

Thank you, Quincy.
[Viktor is not a biologist. He's barely a chemist--sure, he knows some of the basics, given his time at the Academy, but his area of study is, generally speaking, cold hard mathematics. Physics. His engineering know-how will only get him so far, in a situation like this.
And he's squeamish, when it comes to working on animals, even mice, but Alucard is right in that plants aren't relevant to what they're doing right now, and they can't safely progress to experimenting on him. That was part of the deal--slow, methodical. Taking no risks. Despite his dire situation, Viktor wants to respect that. He owes Alucard that much.
Alucard puts Quincy back in his cage and Viktor takes the vial gingerly, slotting it into a centrifuge. They'll have a few minutes while it spins, which he uses to take some notes of his own.]
If there was a way to guarantee the regenerative property--
[Well, they would have solved the whole problem, already.]
--some kind of marker, in the blood, that we could isolate .

You mean you don't want to randomly levitate at unexpected intervals?
[Alucard's grin is small and fleeting. The ability popping up in the course of the experiments did not surprise him, but it was still very silly to have the chase after a floating mouse.
Idly, he presses his fingers into the cage, aware that their friends like to be pet and offering just that.]
But yes. That would be what we need more than anything else. I also suspect I can only do one more large supply draw for the week.
[Alucard still heals plenty fast, but the volume of blood is posing a new challenge. He's glad to have that information, but he also hates it.]

It's the randomness that makes it unappealing.
[Not the ability to float--he thinks he might like that, actually. At the very least, it would make it easier to get around. He understands the point, though. They haven't yet been able to produce consistent results.
Hence the slide he's currently preparing with an extra drop or two of blood. Getting a closer look at it might help him start to puzzle things out. Viktor seems to think about something for a moment before looking back up at Alucard.]
You're worried it isn't scalable.
[Frankly, Viktor's worried about that, too. They can't keep drawing blood from Alucard, and if he's already tapping out on experiments with mice, who knows how much they're going to need for a human, for the effects to be more permanent?]

I know. And we can't do what my mother did with levitation and attach a string to your ankle either.
[Alucard's childhood was weird but not for the expected weird reasons.
The dhampir lets Viktor do the preparation with enough quiet to concentrate, idly rubbing at the top of Quincy's head as the little mouse has insisted that he do. Alucard doesn't mind the indulgence. In fact, it feels quite soothing.]
If it isn't, we will have a problem. But we are working at a break neck speed right now. That is going to distort our understanding of what a sustainable model of this actually looks like.
[It's been probably closer to two pints this past week. Definitely more than should be taken, but they need information. And, perhaps, Alucard does not mind the excuse to take a break from working in Libertas's recovery efforts. Those have served as an awful reminder of what awaits in Wallachia. What Sypha and Trevor saw through their travels. Dracula's legacy.
This too could be that. Should it work.]

No, but, an adult-sized harness and lead--
[That's a joke. He trails off because it's a joke. Viktor watches Alucard for another moment, as if making sure that it's going to land before he turns back to the slide, using a pair of tweezers to gently place the cover over the sample and slot it into place.
As usual, Alucard is right that they don't have the luxury of time, or the ability to carry this out to the letter of scientific ethics. He peers into the microscope.]
And our subject is otherwise unharmed?
[Because that is what Viktor is mostly concerned about, right now. The well being of Quincy.]

[Viktor, Alucard is the last person to be talking kink to.
Alucard just shakes his head, his attention seemingly on Quincy entirely after that bad attempt at a joke. Quincy's decided he is done with attention from the dhampir at any rate, and has darted off to join his fellows.
A little speedier than usual, but huh.]
He seems to be moving faster than his usual pace, actually.
[Which is noteworthy. He healed. And he's fast. That's two things at once, not just one effect.]

[Which is noteworthy. He healed. And he's fast. That's two things at once, not just one effect.]
[He senses that the joke doesn't quite land and instead concentrates his efforts on focusing the microscope. It doesn't take very long to get the image that he wants, and he alternates between peering through the lens and taking some notes on a nearby pad. It's only when Alucard mentions a potential second effect that Viktor pulls back.]
That seems notable.
[The sample on the microscope slide isn't going anywhere, so Viktor pushes his stool back and scoots the wheels towards the table with the mouse cages. He peers inside, wondering if the mouse is, indeed, moving more quickly, or if they're both just imagining it.]
We'll have to get an actual measurement. I don't suppose you charted his normal speed?

Early on, I noted how fast they run on the wheel and what motivates them.
[The cage with the wheel is beside the other cage where Quincy and his other friends currently reside. It doesn't take much effort to scoop the mouse up and place him on the wheel.
There's no need to offer some cheese as motivation. Quincy hops on the wheel, and after a few moments of debate, the little mouse starts running. And running.
Alucard blinks. Then looks over to Viktor.]
Healing and speed. That's two elements happening at the same time. That hasn't happened before.

Stamina, as well.
[He checks his watch--makes note of the time, and reminds himself to also note when the mouse stops. See if it's any different from his usual jaunts around the wheel. Alucard, for his part, seems surprised that this creature seems to be getting the entire package, though he's not sure what that means for the eventual, aforementioned, scaling up.]
What do you think? Just luck, to have received two effects? Everything so far has been fairly random, perhaps this is an extension of that.

I don't know what to think yet. Once is happenstance, after all.
[Quincy is still going. Still having the time of his tiny mouse life.]
We'd need to test it with one of the other mice. But I'd like to see what's under the microscope. I'll keep time with him.

[Yeah, that mouse is. Still going. Well, Viktor isn’t going to stop him, so he’ll just keep an eye on things and make a note of when he stops. He takes another moment to turn a few knobs on the microscope, and then scoots his stool so that Alucard moves in.]
It’s focused. You can have a look.
[Upon peering into the lens, it’s easy to see that the blood is, perhaps, darker than what one might ordinarily see. Viktor has a few theories about it, but he’ll wait for Alucard to provide commentary, first.]

[Quincy's having a great time, thank you for asking.
Alucard's learned how to look at his blood under the microscope with an objective mindset since this all began. At first, he was unsure. Uncomfortable. It was wrong having a part of him outside himself beyond his control. His skin itched at the thought.
All it is is blood though, contrasted against regular blood. And it is interacting the same way as it always has. The entire sample changes to dark red, and then bounces back to the normal color, burning through whatever vampiric elements are present. It makes sense. To be a vampire is to have your blood change entirely. For a war to overtake your body and something foreign win out. So it is with half-vampire blood, only the whole of the other wins out like some kind of math problem.]
It's the same as it ever was.
[And Quincy, it seems is starting to slow. Not that this isn't remarkable. Two consistent traits lasting for longer than expected is important. Massive.
And--]
Perhaps we should see if someone else also has the same two traits?

I thought as much.
[It's not imbuing the mice with abilities that's the problem--they've already proven that Alucard's blood has various properties, in that regard--it's isolating a desired effect, making the effect stick, and then scaling upward to a human subject.
That's where they're currently stumped, and it seems like a lot to be stumped on. Viktor reminds himself that something like this is going to take time, even if he doesn't have much to spare.]
Yes, I think Quincy has earned a break. Jonathan next?

Yes, I think so.
[There's a rotation on the mice, just to keep things fair. It takes very little time for Alucard to return Quincy to the group cage, and to fish Jonathan out. Of the group, Jonathan is the most unhappy when it comes to his turn, and Alucard has taken pains to find means of apologizing after. Three pieces of cheese and letting the little thing ride around on his shoulder seems to be the best peace offering for the time being.
So the rest of it goes. There's enough of Alucard's withdrawn blood for a few more experiments, and he's careful with the volume taken as he always is. Then the needle, then waiting and--]
Puncture wound healed immediately.
[Jonathan usually whines when it takes too long for the injection site to close. He hasn't, so onto the wheel it is. There's a moment's hesitation, and then the mouse begins to run.]
Same speed. [Which suggests--] We need to check with Arthur next, but I think the effects are evening out.
[His tone is flat. Or at least, trying. Because in all of it is the tiniest, tiniest quiver of hope. That this part, this little part, is working. That whatever made the effects random isn't. And in it is the effect they need most.]

[Once the microscope is freed up, Viktor takes another look and scrawls a few more notes into his book before sliding his stool back over to the mouse cage. He lets Alucard handle most of the injections, a deference to the fact that being able to experiment on his blood at all is a privilege.]
The healing is becoming more consistent.
[It's not out of the question that the subjects are adapting--settling into the temporary imbuing of these abilities.]
Do you think that they're stabilizing due to repeated exposure?

Which is what we're after.
[Viable. It is viable, and that is a victory in and of itself.]
That or my blood is adjusting to being outside of my body. It's difficult to say. [The wheel turns with good speed as Jonathan has a good jog, leaving Alucard to drum his fingers worriedly against the table.]
We need to hope it's my version. I don't want this to take a while to even out in your body. Especially if you start floating.

[The arc of discovery is not linear. It can have logic, but it usually lives in the art of surprise. Rarely will things work out as theorized. And it will always take a toll.
All five of the mice can float, when injected with too much of Alucard's blood. They heal instantly no matter the amount. They run faster for a time. There are no other effects. Haven't been for two weeks. So if it is their bodies adjusting or Alucard's blood figuring itself out, the end results are the same. The effect needed is present. The only thing left to do is to scale up.
Alucard doesn't know what happens next. He's not thinking about it as he slides the needle into the vein, carefully watching a part of himself enter Viktor. (It's hard not to understand how vampirism and the romantic became intertwined in moments like this.) The mice shake a little when they adjust. Who knows what it looks like on a person.
He slides the needle out. Starts the timer. Grabs paper and pen.]
Tell me everything you feel as you feel it.
[He holds his breath. Waiting.]

[He holds his breath. Waiting.]
If it wears off on the mice, it stands to reason it would wear off on a human subject as well. Again, scalability.
[Viktor shrugs a little. So much of this is still a shot in the dark, and he's starting to think the amount of blood that's actually needed is going to be beyond what Alucard can actually provide.]
I'm going to keep working on a way to isolate the regeneration. There has to be something.

I'm going to keep working on a way to isolate the regeneration. There has to be something.
[In the end, they are not able to fully isolate whatever it is in Alucard's blood that accelerates healing, but it's a consistent enough effect that they decide they don't need to. A risk, maybe, given the general inconsistency of everything else, but after weeks of experimentation, Viktor is at least halfway confident that Alucard's blood isn't going to kill him.
And Alucard agrees, apparently, enough to jump right to human experimentation. They're starting off with so little anyway that he doesn't think he'll be in any particular danger. If it isn't enough, they can go from there.
Viktor has been poked and prodded with enough needles that he doesn't flinch at this one, taking it without so much as a wince. Once the needle is out, he inspects the injection site, watching the little red pinpoint fade as if it was never there at all. He feels, all at once, a little breathless.]
So far so good.

Okay.
[The needle is sterilized, capped, and then placed in the incinerator pile. Alucard has been specific about this, that anything that has had it's blood in it needs to burn. A particular caveat, one Viktor deserves an explanation for.
His move, checking to see if the wound has reappeared. So far, so good indeed.]
This isn't ideal, but thank you for respecting the particulars I have set down.

[Viktor does not expect anything to take effect right away--he's much larger than a mouse, after all, with a more sophisticated circulatory system, and it's not out of the question that the dosage they gave him is simply not enough. He glances quickly at the stopwatch, but otherwise stays still in the chair, not wanting to unnecessarily elevate his heart rate and botch the current test.
While they wait, Alucard's choice of conversation is a little surprising, but not necessarily unexpected.]
You don't have to thank me. [Viktor should be thanking him, for allowing it in the first place.] It's the bare minimum of courtesy.

It is, but I've not always had it respected.
[That's why it's worth saying thank you.
Alucard's fairly sure Viktor can pick up nuances from there. It is a terrible topic to fill in the silence, of course, but Alucard is sure that if they don't keep speaking, anxiety and fear of failure will fill the room instead. He's worried already, head in darker places than he likes to go under normal circumstances.
He restrains the urge to drum fingers against the table, but only just so.]
If there's nothing in fifteen minutes, I think we need to reconfigure something.

I understand.
[Alucard doesn't need to describe what happened for Viktor to fill in the blanks. Whatever happened, he imagines it was an incredible breach of trust. The fact that they're doing this, now, is a risk for both of them, but arguably one that Viktor is more willing to take. This is a leap of faith, for Alucard, and he wants his friend to know that he isn't going to take it for granted.
He's about to nod at the timing assessment, but then a warmth blooms in his chest, not dissimilar to the feeling of Jayce's healing magic. Viktor manages to look surprised before remembering that he needs to be describing it out loud, so they can take notes. He spreads a hand against his ribcage.]
Less pressure, here.

[It's nice. Being understood without having to elaborate. The first time he told anyone, it was Gideon and it came out as a horrid mess. Or was it Jaskier he first shared it with? Both times left him feeling all too fragile.
Less pressure. Alucard glances at the stopwatch. Notes the time. Then starts to write.]
Circulatory system. That would make sense. What else?
