[The castle bristles. It doesn't like taking commands from Leon even now, but the desire to thwart Carmilla weighs out over all other thoughts. It will destroy the body and leave no traces. That is a promise.
Alucard can only nod at Leon's command. He's not a son, he's a ward or a prisoner, but that demands it's own kind of obedience.]
Understood. Thank you.
[And he does need to show that gratitude. This? This is so much more than he could have ever hoped for.]
The Speaker and I will devise a schedule for looking after him. After she wakes. I...will see you at some point in the near future then.
[ If Leon realises how little the castle cares for taking orders from him, he doesn't show it. Simply moves toward a window and the sunlight flooding into it. Threads of light lance through him, appearing on the far side of his body like tiny pinpricks bleeding sunlight. He leaves Alucard with the same words he has left him with for years, only perhaps a little more insistent than before. ]

Be safe, Adrian. Do not leave the castle grounds.
[ With that, Alucard is alone with the bun. ]

When have I ever?
