[It'd be hard for the dhampir to be worse than he was at first.

There's a faint nod of his head. Alucard can believe that Geralt won't share the information. He's reliable when it comes to keeping personal details personal.]

Thank you. The circle that knows is small as to not compromise my safety. [Because that's the nightmare. Someone captures him and keeps him just alive enough to sell his blood as some miracle cure-all.]

--Does Roach need anything?

[He forgot his third guest!]

[gynvael]

[ He glances outside the window where Roach is tethered. She's in a shaded little spot with a trough of water, which is plenty for her. Geralt might be fond of his horse, but she's still a working, travelling animal. Minimal maintenance is vital. ]

She can have an apple.

[ They're not going far, anyhow. Geralt came to visit Alucard, not to work. A leisurely sort of trip. He'll be returning to Cadens after this. Perhaps a short detour to the gather a few ingredients in the desert outback. Though, given he's been riding for almost a full day: ]

You've room for an overnight guest?

[cryptsleeper]

[Geralt you're the worst horse girl.]

I'll indulge that and make sure her water's topped off.

[Everyone is a guest, everyone deserves good treatment.]

Sure, if you don't mind sleeping about five inches from where you're sitting now. I'll be out here for a few days more. [Sleeping, mostly.] It's only a matter of me grabbing blankets from one of the niches.

[The blankets are light, really there just because Alucard enjoys making a blanket nest for himself no matter the situation. That his yes is instant also says a lot about how far his trust has developed.

He lets out a soft huff of amusement at that revelation, then takes another bit of food. Honestly, this isn't a bad evening. It's quiet. Just enough other people in it. Ideal, really.]
