[Vampiric cannibalism is something that never even occurred to Alucard. Or any other vampire, so far as he can tell when those fleeing explain the circumstances. He's amazed they'll talk to a Speaker at all, but he understands what's really being accomplished. Sypha will preserve the truth and pass it along to her people. The stories will be circulated. Carmilla's land will be devoid of people and when she moves beyond her own home, others shall be prepared.
He doesn't like it. The soft whines against Sypha make that clear every night as she settles down to rest and he keeps watch.
He hates it more as they approach the castle. No, his approach is not slowed, but the tension has him pulled taught like an bow string. Sypha hasn't tried petting him in a few days because he's too tense and Alucard's aware he might snap at her.
The window is faster. The gates are likely to lead on a grander chase.
Sypha's eyes go upward.
So Alucard shifts, has her ride piggy back, and moves them both up.]
We look through, see what's within, then make a decision.
