[When he puts it like that, he feels kind of guilty.]
I know that...
Aww, man! I was sure I had it that time... I hadn't gotten to read all the books Bodhi gave me on human history yet, but there was a section on famous literature in one, and "Dracula" was among them. From there I found a copy for myself. It was pretty melodramatic, but there's got to be some truth to it. You're pretty lucky there's no direct Sunlight around here.
I couldn't say. I was told by Anderson that there existed a book in his world telling stories about my father. I can only imagine a handful of those tales being true.
Yes, I can. Garlic doesn't have any effect on vampires. Neither do crosses or silver. Holy water can hurt.
It is, essentially. It has little to do with my father as I know him.
If it burns me, then I know. Water that has been blessed by one devoted to their god has an effect on me. The more pure that devotion, that love, then the more potent the holy water.

In any case, no. Dracula is my father's name, but that was a fair guess. Just found the library, did you?

So what's the relation to your Father?
no subject
I'm not sure what you are asking, precisely. He is my father, and my mother was a human.
no subject
Can you eat garlic?
no subject
Yes, I can. Garlic doesn't have any effect on vampires. Neither do crosses or silver. Holy water can hurt.
no subject
What's the deal with holy water anyway? How do you know if it's "holy"?
no subject
If it burns me, then I know. Water that has been blessed by one devoted to their god has an effect on me. The more pure that devotion, that love, then the more potent the holy water.

But I think that perhaps God is merciful to man's children, in as much as He can be.
no subject
Hey, you still haven't told me your name.
no subject
Adrian Ţepeş, son of Vlad Dracula Ţepeş.
no subject
Can I call you by it?
no subject
Of course. I don't mind the people I care about using it when speaking to me.
no subject
Exactly!!
The feeling's mutual, so... Can I ask you something?
no subject
Of course, Nines. You have my attention.
no subject
Um.
Are we friends?
Haha...
no subject
I apologize if I gave a different impression.
no subject
Wait...
Is that how it usually works?
I mean, if you don't want to...
no subject
But I care about you, and your well-being. And I think you have potential.
no subject
[Both that he would never presume friendship, and that he cares for Alucard's well-being. He's not really sure when that happened, though.]
Potential?
