[Alucard's face is pointed directly at Her Majestic Pain In His Side and for all the world, it seems as if he's having no problem holding eye contact. But behind the dark glasses it's clear he is looking down, his focus on the steps leading up to the Queen's perch. He can't look anywhere else. Not at Trevor (although he catches some of the fae's glow), not at the crowd around them, not at anyone.
Then there is blood in the air, and Alucard puts every effort into not swearing outright. It's a trap, an obvious trap, and she must know that it'll be sidestepped.
No blood. No food. No water. Alucard knows the rules, just as he knows he won't be let outside the castle for yet another year because of this. And maybe that last part is for the better.]
Refused freely. I do not require blood at this time.
