[It’s not that Viktor is really worried about Alucard’s ability to handle himself—from everything he knows (which is, admittedly, little), he’s some kind of supernatural being who can probably hold his own in a fight. He can turn into a wolf! That’s much more useful than anything Viktor could do, if things came down to a physical confrontation.

Which he hopes it won’t.]

I understand. Nothing good has ever come from narrow-mindedness and irrational fear.

[There's something unspoken here, a hint into Alucard's past, something Viktor is not sure he should press, curious as he is. It's not as though he's been particularly forthcoming, so it feels almost wrong to pry.]

Disappointing, that this much is constant across worlds.
