[Their host, a woman who moved far south from New England back when the word of the day was witchcraft mixed with endless land disputes and who herself goes only by the name of Theodora, picks the exact moment that someone is fool enough to question Sypha's own authority in order to supplement it. She was a witch once, a vampire now, she threatens to be a ghost if someone gets lucky enough to kill her.
Anyone who steps foot off property when we're ignorant of particulars is well and dead to this house and my kin. She has brood, they live not only in the city but further on west. Hospitality is their greatest trait, and for those who need to travel, such blessings can be life or death. The Speaker's words are that of sense. Wait.
The last word is nearly a dip into vampiric compulsion. Enough to make it clear how serious she is. And with that she walks past Sypha with head held high, and a softer I'll see what's about because unless the hunters are actually Belmont level, they have been caught now.
(It is not unremarked upon by most that Alucard's ethics are very different from that of his father. In so much that he has them at all. It is not beyond the realm of possibility to think that some delay is happening because of those very ethics.)
But no. The delay is based in questions, and Alucard's shoulders are heavy by the time his host actually makes her way out to the new party in the woods. The hunters are well and truly unnerved because of Alucard's calmness, his ability to coax answers from them, and with Theodora now there, he says the worst words of all.]
They interrupted your party. I won't have death, but warn the world as you see fit.
