[The meeting concludes. All have walked away from the table: the vampires of Styria, the hunters of Styria, and the abiding team of Sypha and Trevor. The third of them is not in sight, his presence likely to be taken as a threat of sorts by those same hunters rather than a mediating force. For the past several days, Alucard has taken to his bat form, careful to be out of sight as the three traveled.
It's from within the fur of Trevor's cloak (that he can now at least stand to wear) that there's a soft, slightly distressed squeak. It translates to I'm cold, as the three of them worked out certain audio cues up to the Rhine. (They are meeting in neutral territory outside of Styria.)
Alucard hates this. He hates being in bat form for any longer than he must, as to be in bat form is to be too small, too vulnerable, too easy to come to harm and far too difficult to protect the others. But in mediating what the right balance of blood drinking, population, and destruction of Styria's new vampires (and there has been an explosion of them in the past three years since That Woman's death), he had to be.
They'll go back to their lodgings tonight, a tiny inn with only two bedrooms and working on the assumption that there's only two people staying in the one room. Alucard will remain a bat there too, unhappy and trying not to let his displeasure at the situation be known.
But for now, a squeak. A need for something warmer, as the wind has picked up and there is a bone wrenching chill with it.]
