[The pitcher is absolutely all yours Geralt, and that you've taken fair reimbursement is all Alucard can ask for at this time. He slides his mug away. The desire to drink is not as overwhelming as how terribly tasting the beer was. He'll go find a bottle of wine somewhere else.
If forced to be honest, Alucard would defend that he's reached something. That he understands his father and why he isolated himself as he grew older. Why the castle moved. It was easier and safer, without any betrayals and far fewer Belmonts coming along with homicidal intent. No mobs with pitchforks. Only the chance to conduct scientific research in peace.]
I need time to myself, away from others, and I'm the one making the choice. [The last part is the key, so far as he's concerned. He gets to make the decision. No prophecy, no sense of duty to family or the world, only his own desires.] A year to rest in the past did wonders.
