[So much balances on a fine edge now. Alucard doesn't act as himself in this moment, he is not only Adrian Tepes, a grieving son. He is regent, he speaks and acts for a city that has placed power in his very young hands. (His age is never forgotten.) To tear this man apart again, it would be the easiest thing in the world, but it would not give the city satisfaction. Spectacle.
But Trevor cannot abide by extensive harm done to the clergy, because is still a Belmont and that means certain things. Complicity in such actions will do him no favors, and the family he has in Texas is well aware of him now.
This situation was the kind of thing Alucard feared, back when he had not accepted that this would be how things were. Back when he chafed and tried to gnaw at the bindings wrapping around him, holding him fast to a legacy that no one in his family expected him to take. He would be his father's son, oh yes, but never anything more than that. Never a true power in any meaningful way.
He's not armed. That was one of Trevor's rules for this, because this thing must be capture and to arm Alucard was to risk the chance of death again. At the very least, there is a need for interrogation, they can all agree on that.
Tension is eating him up from the inside. Alucard knows it.]
I don't either. [But what more can be done?] Crossroads never bode well.
