For a time, I imagine that would be truth. Perhaps time will tell how long I will be kept occupied.
[He wasn't going to commit anything, especially considering he had no current intention of leaving Nocwich. This was the place of vampires, and he was a vampire. He belonged here for the time being, and he imagined a place of eternal darkness would be an excellent territory to give his son space from him.
He had survived in deserts before. He had survived forests, mountains, swamps, lakes and plains. Survival was something that he knew how to do very well despite his limitations.]
If that's the case, it doesn't sound as if you've strayed too far from my shadow yet. The Alucard was never who you were meant to be, but I suppose you've weaponized the title to make a point of distinction between us.
[He left his hand there on a few seconds, just enough to assure himself that this wasn't a construct meant to torment him. No, that flesh under his hand was familiar, and there was no reason to put more than that on Adrian. His presence would likely only service to rip open old wounds and nothing of value would come of that.
So he stepped away, lifting his hand up to push some low hanging foliage from brushing against his head as he walked beyond his son.
A few paces away, he stopped walking again.]
For someone that wants no association with me, you are continuing to provide information. And don't worry yourself, I intend to stay with the other vampires here. [Once he made contact with them, of course. He expected it would be similar to trying to forge a conversation with them in Europe.]
If I can't survive on my own, I have no business being here. I don't require charity.
