I grew up in my father's shadow, did I not? I know the vampires of the seas and of Europe.
[The vampires of the Americas? Now those are strangers, especially as more seem to enter those ranks every year. Alucard doesn't say that though, and he's careful as he hits the boat's middle deck. Now, now he can truly smell the salty air thanks to grates that also let the moon shine down in. Alucard passes directly underneath one of them, then stands there, soaking in the little light there is.
He is awake. That is worth taking a moment to acknowledge.]

Why do I hear barking?
[Vampire ears can pick up an awful lot.]
