[ Curious. Vampires have been both inmates and wardens alike, so it cannot be dark by course alone? But that feels like a question that will take several perspectives to better understand. For now, it seems most appropriate to accept that this is how Alucard feels on the topic. ]

I think there is some merit to that. To have peace of mind that you can do little harm while you consider your situation and learn to trust yourself anew.

[ It's familiar to her, even. And she gave her defensive-only knife to Jinx for the same reason. ]

[Alucard merely nodded in response at first. He seemed to sink into thought for a moment to take in her words. There was comfort there, hearing someone else mirror his thoughts on the matter. A part of him relaxed at the validation.

Another part of him gnawed at the cage. He shoved it deep down, attributing it to his dark heritage rather than any practicality on his inner self's part. He was part vampire, he would always have these conflicting pieces within him, this darkness warring with the light. He accepted that for what he thought it was.

He nodded again.]

Yes. I think so.

[Or perhaps I hope so.]

I know that the next month is a very inconsequential amount of time. I always found my temporary wardens very irritating.

[ She know! How many temp-wardens had she told to stop badgering her to graduate and go away? A whole handful! ]

But I am always here to help, even if it is just to listen or serve a cup of tea.
