[Everything is happening too fast. Alucard's yet to clue into what's wrong with this necromancer, mostly because the lack of air in his lungs is playing total havoc with his ability to observe important details. (Something that, upon review, when the two are home and in a mode of straight up panic, will be recognized as strategy.) For the time being, there is only the satisfaction that his sword has made some kind of contact, not...not the lack of reaction.
Sypha's close though, and in any other situation Alucard would have it in him to try and direct her away. But that isn't possible, Trevor's whip is doing the very best it can do, and then Sypha gets hit.
Blessed whips at least free Alucard from the invisible things holding onto him, and when he stumbles forward it is with a terrible gasp to fix the fact that there is no air in him. One deep breath. Two. Then with a terrible fury he lunges forward towards Sypha.
He spoke of Speakers too meanancingly.
This was a trap, wasn't it?
It is a horrifying thought and it drives him forward, forward, forward to wher she is, bellowing her name and for her to but retreat. This was one of his fears over a year ago, wasn't it? That someone would try and come for her. There's precious relief in knowing that it is for her and her heritage, not in a way to play politics with himself.]
