No need to be sorry. It's the way things are.

[ It's a plan, at least. Sypha can get the castle healthy again and the two of them can help however she needs it in between their other tasks. Alucard can hunt, he can go into the city and do odd jobs for food money and newspapers. ]

Can it talk back to you? If it can tell us what it needs, that'd help. Otherwise, I guess I should try to work out that makes the abbey similar to some creepy house with too many coops.
