#Mina and Van Helsing and the Suitors: 'You'll swear to do some wife murder too right? Right? It's for a good cause'

#Jonathan: 'I won't lie to you.' -dead silent apart from very loudly sharpening his kukri-

Jonathan being the only one not promising to kill Mina is more complicated than just selfishness. He will not make promises he knows he cannot keep. He has made up his mind already.

Jonathan has already said his vows to her, on their wedding day.

#jonathan harker #mina harker #jonmina #dracula #what was there first: book or a worm #also #Mina asking Jonathan to read Burial Service is her trying to help him make some sort of peace with her possible death #even if he won't promise her to be the one to give a killing blow this way he might at least not resent their friends #because he didn't make an oath but he did read the rites #but I also think he promised himself as he read them that it won't come to this #even though it must've made him come to terms with this as at least something that could happen #like something you're careful to not consciously think of that lurks in the corners of your mind like a shade #meta
