[It is for the better that neither of them are as they should be. Alucard's reaction time would have been far faster. Probably would have gotten one or both of them thrown against the wall, a whirlwind contained in a tiny, tiny room.
The furious hiss that happens would have always been one of the results though. Alucard's free hand is defensive, quick to shove at Geralt's chest and if he scratches anything in the attempt, there will be no regrets on Alucard's side of the equation. This is what fair play looks like.
Geralt at least stops before things escalate. For a moment longer, Alucard allows his fangs to remain retracted (it isn't a power if it's a part of your bone structure!) before he straightens up. Eyes ahead, the guards banging on the bars of the cell next door.]
