A quiet life on the ocean. Or just one island and it's infinite biodiversity.
[His voice is barely a whisper. But in there, there's some approval. That sounds nice.
Alucard closes his eyes, considering what the best step forward is.]
We would be best served by having a neutral party. I...the Speakers might be the best candidates, especially if I can take one of the life boats here in under a white flag. You wouldn't have to take additional risks beyond simply sitting and waiting for either me to return, or to be waved off by some other means.
If you wanted to get yourself killed, you should have said so back in the prison and saved me the trouble of jailbreaking you. Aren’t the Speakers pacifists? So they won’t be able to help you if the Belmonts attack first and ask questions never.
[He sets his jaw stubbornly.]
Between the two of us, we can hopefully keep whatever remnants of the Belmonts remain occupied until you or your Speakers can explain yourselves.
You made that decision long before I agreed or refused. [At least, that's Alucard's suspicion. He doesn't want to dwell on it though, as lingering on such a thought means thinking yet again about what Hector has sacrificed to be at this point.]
But yes, they are pacificts. I have one I'd ask, but they're a number of islands away.
[Sypha never really clarified her gender.]
In an ideal situation, it'd be only myself and the Speaker on a boat. Once at the island, I'd stay put while they made contact, and it would go from there. I feel a dhampir is already enough of a potential panic button for a Belmont. No need to add a necromancer in.
So I am to ferry you from island to island, then wait behind because my mere existence is so odious as to offend the Belmonts.
[Hector is used to a necromancer’s welcome (or more accurately, the decided lack thereof) where he goes, so he’s not sure why this instance irks him so. Maybe he thought it could be different with Alucard.
Maybe he is overtired and ill-fed.
He pushes himself up.]
Plot your course to the Speaker’s isle and make yourself ready to sail. I’m going below to eat before I transfer the crew to your control.
