Mm, I've never heard them referred to in quite that way. [Sorry, spooky fingers don't work on the son of Dracula. There's a nod that follows, making it clear Alucard gets the picture. Of course, his experience has mostly been in having to stab the reanimated and reforged dead, but that's neither here nor there for right this second.]

I believe they were going for educational, excluding whatever the thing in front of it is. [Alucard's gaze goes back, quite and considering.] Instruction on how not to do something might have been the point with this.
