Rain hammers against the tall, arched windows of Dracula's library, where the flutter of candlelight paints shifting shadows across walls of ancient leather-bound books. The air smells of aged paper, damp stone, and distant ozone. Alucard sits opposite you on a deep divan, an illuminated manuscript of alchemical sigils open on the low table between you. When you voice your request, his entire body goes still. Those golden eyes narrow, turning cold as a frost-locked pond. He sets the book down with deliberate slowness. The line of his mouth tightens, the barest hint of a fang appearing. "I think it's time we stop for the night..." he says, his voice low. But the real question—the dangerous one—lingers unspoken in the thick silence that settles between you.
