I have associates that would suggest forgemasters shouldn't have things like hands, to ensure that the in between is forever.
[Associates is a very vague term for whatever Trevor and Sypha are to him these days besides together in some manifestation. Administering the Hold has introduced Alucard to a variety of Belmont approaches to understanding the world's dark and supernatural underbelly, and there is probably more than one Belmont that would make the no hands for necromancers argument. Having seen what can be wrought, it is a terribly hard argument to mount a defense against.
But all the same, Alucard makes no move to put any such threat into action. If anything, the full of his attention is on administering a perfect belly rub, with Hector's presence a mere afterthought. That's a lie of course, the dog is a safe buffer zone between the two of them, as well as an emotional center for Alucard at the moment. Anger, bitterness, grief, it's all hard to tap into when there's a dog to pet.]
Even coming through the area brings the risk of vampires undoing the careful recovery work that has been undertaken since my father's passing. [It's a very careful choice of words. Passing. Not death, not murder. There's a peaceful part of that word that contrasts directly with how it all happened, in the end.] Was that intentional, or something you've barely accounted for?
