[Uncertainty flickers across Hector's face. Alucard considers a return to his father a death sentence. Even with that in mind, Alucard would restrain Hector, not kill him. It's...not what Hector excepted of the son of Dracula.]

If you won, you could kill me and leave my ship to be found in pieces. There are rogue pirates or hunters' ships who could be blamed for it.

[Hector doesn't like that option, but he needs to know why Alucard isn't considering it. Does he truly just want to be left alone to keep floating around in his empty ship?]

Your father is the only one who can unite them. If they had no leader, they would kill without restraint.

[Hector has no love for any of the other vampires in Dracula's fleet. It is for Dracula alone he stays with them.]
