Bloody hell what am I doing? Alright I'd better get this over with.

[There's the sound of someone clearing their throat and then a defeated sigh.]

Everyone I need to talk to you about one of our new arrivals. His name is Alucard and he's uh, my Master. I know he doesn't seem like the most normal of people and if he's already scared some of you I'm sorry, but he just likes spooking people that's all. He didn't really deal with people outside of our work back home so he did that a lot.

Now if he um...look if you have a problem with him can you at least contact me first and I'll try to fix it, alright? Also please, please don't get into a confrontation with him. He's not going to back down and he takes these things very seriously and it doesn't end well so just don't.

Any problems getting the Harkonnen fixed? Do I need to get some parts?

[Filtered to Agatha]

I know it's a bit soon, but I just wanted to know how soon the new Harkonnen can be ready? I might need it.

I guess you have a point, but still a please don't be startled would have been nice.

You're right. It was stupid of me not to practice the appropriate foresight.

It wasn't stupid and it did explain things pretty clearly.

I suppose.

[ she takes a glance around her new surroundings ]

So, is this your residence?

[The flat was done up in an old english style. Solid hardwood furniture and dark curtains dominated the living room.]

Uh, yeah. I don't really have anyone over very often so sorry it's a bit dark in here.

I don't worry about the darkness, really.

[ her own dull glow contrasts heavily against it as she pokes about, rubbing her chin ]

It could do with a bit more color, don't you think?

Not really. I'm sort of watching it for someone else really.

[For almost two years now, but somehow she couldn't ever fully lay claim to the flat in her own mind. In part it was still Sir Integra's and it always would be.]

[ she moves over to a shelf, examining its contents ]

Oh? For whom would that be, your master?

His master actually.

Your master's master? That would be the one who turned him?

[Seras shakes her head.]

No, she's not that. She's the head of the Hellsing family.

Okay.

...What is the significance of that?

She's in charge of the Hellsing Organization. we uh, we hunt vampires, keep them from hurting people.

[ kanaya shoots her a surprised look with a frown, her glow slowly brightening ]

...Oh.

They all work for the Major so it's not like that. We wouldn't hunt someone like you who doesn't hurt anyone.

[Well at least Seras hoped so. The situation had never come up as every other vampire she'd met before coming here had been a complete monster.]

[ she has a history of throwing vampire hunters for a loop. but persecution's always been a running theme in most of the vampire novels she's grown up with, which if nothing else has certainly inspired her to make sure her thirst is properly managed. ]

Well, I...should hope not.

I wouldn't let that happen. We've got enough of the bad sort to deal with without having to go after you.

Assuming, of course, that I can refrain from harming anyone.

But you have the blood from the clinic now so that shouldn't be a problem right?

Theoretically.

Well I'm not going to hunt you for something that might, maybe, happen.

So, you would eschew taking such action while it would be preemptive.

But afterward?
