[The moment that Sypha is secure against his back is the moment that Alucard's feet leave the ground. His own skills are powers, not magic, and in theory should not be impacted by the horrible things within this room.

It is in lifting off the ground that it registers how light Sypha is. She always has been, she is the smallest of the three, but now that lightness is for all of the wrong and terrible and horrifying reasons and Alucard wants to snarl in anger for that fact alone.

(There will be so many other reasons for that noise in due time, but it is easiest to focus on small things first.)]

Okay.

[He hears her. He begins to drift towards what looks like a desk.]

If it is down here, we will destroy it. If not, then we must abandon it. We're here to rescue you first. Trevor and I are in agreement that to destroy him is not as important in this moment as getting you out of here.

[He manages to say it all with calm and reassurance in his voice. It takes Alucard himself by surprise.]
