[It is a simple statement of fact that bat eyesight is generally not so great. That's the whole point of echolocation, after all. So what the passing by bat catches isn't a sight. It's a slightly off smell beginning to curl upwards, one that has very much not been present in the galleries before. Wine, yes, food, yes, flowers, absolutely, but this is odd.

The bat returns, joining the others, then jumbling together until Alucard is Alucard again. It isn't subtle - a few dozen bats and their wings beating rapidly is bound to be heard down the corridor, but it's the best Alucard can do.

Thankfully, the smell is easy to play off. Even if someone comes looking for bat wings. What they'll get is a dhampir walking down the corridor, wine glass still in hand (he put it down behind a statue), sniffing at the air.]

--Is everything okay?

[The question doesn't quite echo off the gallery walls, but it is a near thing.]
