[ He doesn't look like he's capable of being as careful as he is. It'd be quicker work if he wasn't, if he worked a little more roughly and didn't take pains not to tug at Alucard's hair at all. But for now, at least, there's no hurry. And there's a quiet satisfaction that comes from doing things like this right. ]
If anyone's stupid enough to risk it, it might spur them on to learn that he isn't here. It's a real danger. But it's better they learn from the speakers. That way we know for sure what they're hearing. If they heard it through the networks of his generals, it would get tangled up with people's judgements. Different people interpret things in different ways over and over, add parts or forget them, and suddenly we have people deciding whether or not to take action based on something that isn't even close to the truth. If people are going to think this is a good time to fuck around, I'd rather they think that based on our actions rather than something we have no control over.
