"It's a different facet."

That isn't a lie. The castle? That's a combination of safety and experimentation. Projecting will into the world. The books and what's within? Intellect. The most important part of Dracula's legacy, beyond his family. The scars though, that's the worst of his father, pressed upon love ones and all stemming from Lisa's murder.

Sypha's hand in his hair is soothing. Alucard knows she must have figured out that petting his hair is one of the quickest ways to calm him, and there's no part of him that can truly protest at the discovery.

That reason is why Alucard tells himself that it's okay to sigh like he does when they're both away. Lonely. That icy well Sypha once described with a few tracks in it.

"If I didn't want to be here, you know I wouldn't be." Bullshit. Alucard is nothing if not devoted to his family's legacy.

"I wish he knew you better. That they both did, instead of this being the only signifier of an encounter."
