[The change in attitude as Alucard ices over is impossible to miss. It's a wonder Michael hasn't been faced with this kind of reaction more often, really. That religion is a touchy subject for some is no secret to him, but it seems he's always running into devout Catholics instead, the kind who see him as a figure to revere.
He doesn't consider himself the hero of their stories any more than he's the villain in whatever Alucard's been through. Religion's only half-right at the best of times. He's not responsible for what men to do one another.
There's little change in Michael's expression. He wears the same impassive look he did when he arrived.]
Did I sound like I was making exceptions? All gods, plural or singular within their pantheon.
[There's a lot more he could say—about why he never cares to see his God again, about what kind of person his Father is, about what He's done to Michael personally—but he's not getting into it with a stranger. He does dislike having some unknown slight held against him, though.]
If you have something to say, say it. Don't be coy.
