[He can be dismissive, at least. But the rest of Alucard knows it's unhelpful, so he's careful as he reroutes the discussion.]
It's easy to not kill someone. [He starts with that. Careful with his words.] The bond will help, but the rest is training and paying attention to the entire process. When people get hurt it's because they stop paying attention to heartrates, blood flow, and where the bite happens.
[This next part isn't rote.] You make rules for yourself too. Like not taking from arteries, because that's the quickest way to kill someone. You pay attention to how bad cravings are, and you space your food out accordingly. I've only needed blood once or twice a week, and my needs have never demanded human blood as my father's did. He and my mother had their own rules about blood flow.
And there was no infrastructure for it home like there is here. Ways to remove the person element of it, so that it's noting more than a special dietary need.
