[kismetatropos]

I know not what you are planning, but I do not like being kept in the dark. No matter where you send me, you will not keep me contained.

You are aware of that, are you not? Do not expect me to take this insult so passively.

There is no reason for mirth in this situation, or any!

[relictusdeus]

[Watching an imp tumble down a flight of stairs was amusing. As was jamming a knife between the ribs of an enemy and staring hard into one's desperate, pleading eyes, letting them hope for mercy before twisting the hilt.]

What is life... but a sad joke for the creatures unloved by God? [He snorts softly, glancing aside for a moment.] ...I pity the beast who know not how to laugh.

[kismetatropos]

[He snarls. He's definitely easier to set off than the Alucard that Isaac knows.]

I have no need for your pity.

[relictusdeus]

'tis a little late for that. [He remarks pleasantly.] If contempt is what you prefer, you needn't worry, for of that I have more than enough.

[kismetatropos]

[He considers this carefully.]

You are not my enemy.

[Clearly the enemy of the other him, but if the man isn't actively trying to kill him, Alucard has no reason to consider him an imminent threat.

It is, at least, him saying that he doesn't want to fight him.]

[relictusdeus]

[He snorts softly, unable to simply leave it at that.]

Should you not keep your lust for blood in check, rest assured, I shall do it for you.

[kismetatropos]

You shall not have to concern yourself with that.

[relictusdeus]

[A scoffing sound escapes him, tinged with incredulity.]

Are you suggesting that I be so foolish as to blithely place my faith in you? Please.

[kismetatropos]

[He glares.]

I do not harm innocents.

This curse is just that. I am not like my father. I will not blindly attack and kill any in my way!

[relictusdeus]

Of course you won't.

[Wouldn't trust a creature of the night as far as he could throw one.]

What ever helps you find sleep in the daytime, I suppose. Who am I to rob you of an idea that brings you such comfort?

[kismetatropos]

You will not continue to mock me!

[He isn't his father!]

[relictusdeus]

[He presses a hand to his chest, feigning wide-eyed concern as he cants his head.] Do I offend? Forgive me. [The sly, vile smile that soon tugs at the corners of his lips spoils his performance.]

[kismetatropos]

[He sneers.]

I will not be a monster like him.

[relictusdeus]

All creatures of the night are monsters by nature. Nothing more. [In his oh-so humble opinion.]

[kismetatropos]

And you would think yourself different?

[relictusdeus]

[He laughs, but there's a flash of fierceness in his pale eyes.]

Unlike you, no filthy leech am I, desperately gorging myself on blood with insatiable greed.

[kismetatropos]

[At least he's honest. Even if he's insulting.]

Yet you would ally yourself with my father.

[relictusdeus]

[There's a flicker of surprise across his features before his expression darkens, his teeth bared slightly in that smile as cutting and sharp as a knife's edge.]

My lord and master he is no longer.

[kismetatropos]

How wise of you to escape his clutches.

[There's something like approval in his tone, even if this man is without question not an ally.]

[relictusdeus]

[He huffs bitterly, looking away for a moment as if eye-contact brought with it a surge of deep disgust.]

Your worm of a father had a most curious way of acknowledging the loyalty of his dearest servants.

[Nose wrinkling, he hisses through gritted teeth.] He made his bed; now he shall lie in it.

[kismetatropos]

[So it ended badly then. He's nearly grateful, though it doesn't show on his face.]

What a shame for him.

[Though he doesn't actually feel the least bit sorry.]

[relictusdeus]

He shall suffer the gruesome fate he deserves.

[The thought inspires a bittersweet sense of satisfaction.]

'tis almost a shame I shall not be there to see his undoing.

[kismetatropos]

I look forward to his undoing just the same.
