[All right, that's fair, he isn't meaning to call Alucard a... large cloud of disease-ridden beasts. But to be fair, he's the one who started it, calling them flying rats. Rodents. Whichever.

It is not hard to miss the fact he has clearly hurt the vampire's feelings. Which is an utterly bizarre thing to think -- that he would ever be in a position to hurt any vampire's feelings, let alone, er. Be in this situation at all.]

Oh.

[It does sound a little disappointed.]

Ah, that's still! Brilliant! Amazing! I mean, I would never be able to turn into... that many things. Let alone one.

[He feels weirdly guilty about this entire conversation now. He approaches Alucard to show just how not-scared he definitely is of him, knowing he can instantly become bats whenever he feels like it. He pats his arm.] I promise, it is very, ah, impressive.
