[Hector nods. It might work. He could have his innocent devils lie beneath the water in ambush, if he could lure Isaac to the place of his choosing.]

I don't suppose there's still a forge in the castle. [He highly doubts it, but no harm in asking.]

And you know...if you can't leave the castle, make the castle move again. Then you can see the world, instead of sulking here. [He's a pot calling the kettle black, but Adrian has taken brooding to a new level. Case in point, it's been seven years and the dhampir still apparently hasn't gotten himself a damned dog.

Silver lining, at least if Hector's plan goes awry and he dies, it will get Alucard out of the house for a bit while he fetches Cesar and company.]
