That will be very welcome. [There's a look of actual embarrassment that crosses Alucard's face, and he breaks his gaze from Hector to just off too the side.]
It'll be nice to not fly blindly. I think that they were judging me at certain points for being that foolish in my failures.
[Ah, that effort would have been lead by the cat. She, ironically enough, has a resting bitch face. He chuckles.]
They're ruthless, and they probably sensed they'd get extra attention if they acted needy. You did fine. It's a testament to your instinct to magical matters that you figured out as much as you did.
[It's easy to lean back against the ship's rail and focus on the past, rather than the future. They'll sleep soon. Tomorrow, their journey by water, and Hector's short stint as captain, ends.]
[He's nearly embarrassed by that fact, and it would be far more clear if there wasn't a faint laugh somewhere in Alucard's words. They're followed by a much more sobering sigh, and Alucard's fingers return to petting the hare that is now, for all intents and purposes, his charge.]
I know they weren't left on purpose, but I am glad they were there all the same.
[That's gratitude enough. And maybe that's the best place for all of this to end. Quiet gratitude, and the rare check in to ensure that no more mistakes of the past are repeated. ]
