-╳- The cadaver, truth be told, had expected the maw of a beast to come forth from the shadows not a being one could easily consider being of the same breed, if one wished to pose it in such a manner. To not expect such change of events and the offer of a completely different, unfathomed possibility was perhaps a rather amateur mistake on Alucard’s part for centuries had offered him much experience in the way of being wary and watching and he had simply failed to do such that evening. To be approached by another of a similar origin, however, was almost unheard of given his timeline and biological bonds to the past – his father’s name was bitter on a great many tongues belonging to both past and present.
To ease any potentially present tensions, the cadaver loosely crossed his arms over his chest in the hope that the subtle body language would offer the fact that he had no intentions to reach for the vast blade slung at his hip in an endeavour for violence; no, the very last thing he wished to experience that evening was conflict, for his life and indeed death had been fraught with battles… enough was enough.
“I beg to differ.” Accents were most certainly different, though similarities lay bare. “No intrusion, mere curiosity – something offered on both sides, no?” Indeed, Alucard had been curious as to who or what had been following him, and the other male must have been curious as to follow in the first place. “May I ask why you followed for so long?”
Alucard found this perhaps one of the most interesting things he had dealt with in a while. It was dead, yet alive; both, yet neither. There was no gurgle to its voice, rather it spoke clear as day, as though it had never truly begun to rot. Perhaps he should stop thinking of the cadaver as an it and more of a person.
Alucard admittedly found himself a little more relaxed when the undead vampire changed his posture. It was comforting to know, or at least hope, that this interaction wouldn’t go south, especially when he didn’t want it to. This required effort on his end, of course, and for once it was an effort he was willing to make.
“Is that so?” Alucard inquired, briefly contemplating his response to the cadaver’s question. “Simple curiosity, little else. It’s not often I see someone such as you simply walking about.”
