There's no arguing then. Alucard takes a scant five minutes to clean up what little work he was doing in the graveyard, and he walks with Sypha back to her little rented room. The more people they find themselves around, the more the dhampir straightens up. The more his eyes move everywhere.
He's practically falling of the edge by the time they reach Sypha's room. A place cozy enough, and what Alucard can imagine is still a novelty for someone who did not grow up as a part of the rooted folks.
The dhampir is tall. There's little room to sit, and so he settles down on the floor. How this place is quiet he doesn't ask. He only waits until Sypha is also seated to even try.
When he speaks, his voice is far calmer than the dhampir feels.]
I'm not sure how to begin, so I'll tell you about the thing at the center of this place. Two tall stones stand beside each other, a semicircle cut out of each half. Together, those semi circles are whole. And they stand in the middle of a crater. Around that is a void. White. Blinding. And where you should go.
