[Alucard listens. Tries very pointedly to ignore the tones coming into this conversation, because that makes some things easier. An advantage of perspective, being removed from the emotions of the moment.

They keep mentioning the horse. In that, there's a chance of determining if he can pick up anything at all without needing to be hauled into the desert to be a glorified sniffer dog for someone he's currently not speaking to and isn't sure he'll speak to again.

He also cannot believe the words that are about to come out of his mouth.]

Let me smell the horse. If there is anything especially unusual, it should still be there, and may be more helpful before going any further.
