[estrangements]

Can’t say I’m not a bit curious if I’m being honest. You never took yours, did you?

[ananym]

No. It felt superfluous compared to the powers I already possess.

[estrangements]

Bet it does. Seems to be the only way I might be able to get my magic back here though.

[ananym]

Have you not earned enough shards?

What about your connections?

[estrangements]

What connections?

( this is a belmont who isn’t richter you’re talking to, alucard. )

[ananym]

[ alucard sighs. ]

Have you not made any friends?

[estrangements]

Not really one for making those.

[ananym]

Juste.

This is a chance to meet new people.

[estrangements]

Haven’t exactly had people for some time.

( only so recently had richter and maria become something of that sort for him. )

[ananym]

All the more reason to try.

It worries me.

[estrangements]

Ah, no sense in worrying about an old man like me.

[ananym]

I worry all the same.

Age hardly matters. Living does.

[estrangements]

Feel like you should be giving that advice to Richter.

( they had, hadn’t they? )

[ananym]

I gave plenty of advice to Richter.

Now I'm passing some along to you.

[estrangements]

You know, I hardly find this fair when, between the two of us, I’m the one who looks as if I’ve got one foot in the grave.

( bloody vampire genes and all. )

[ananym]

I hope you don't expect me to apologize for being a vampire.

[estrangements]

Of course not. I’m just saying.

( trying to find a bit of humour in it all. )

[ananym]

Witty saying. Very amusing.

I nearly laughed.

[estrangements]

Right then. I’ll let you be.

[ananym]

Oh, enough. You say you're too old? Then spare me the pettiness.

You say you have one foot in the grave. Then I'll ask about the other. The one you chose to walk with Maria.

Don't let it all waste away.

[estrangements]

Right. Won’t do that. Going to see about this potion now.

[ananym]

[ hm. ]

Do you want to have it together? I'll take mine with you.

[estrangements]

No point for you, remember?

[ananym]

You are the point.

[estrangements]

( uh… )

Not sure I follow.
