"Master, it is time for you to wake up, you have a very busy schedule this morning." Sebastian said softly and calmly, yet also firmly to the sleeping Integra. She stirred slow sighing, not wanting to get out of the bed. She was still tired having missed sleep the previous night due to the damned monster returning. Honestly he'd not changed in the time he was gone still being the bastard he was, trying to steal her blood. She slowly got up from the mattress and sighed. "Now master, I have prepared you a breakfast of scones and a shot of whiskey," Sebastian began, "But first, may I ask you a question?"
Before Integra gave him permission Alucard phased through her bedroom wall and mockingly said "You've truly not changed a bit master. But I would be careful, with an alcohol intake so high, your fiery personality may prove dangerous." He chuckled to himself and Sebastian's eye twitched in annoyance.
"I seem to recall ordering you to stay out of here until I asked her to confirm your identity Alucard." Sebastian said, not even attempting to mask the irritation in his voice.
"I got bored." the vampire replied then bluntly added, "Besides, I don't take orders from the help." He then walked over to the bed until he was blocked by Sebastian.
The butler had a very annoyed look and asked again to Integra, "Master, may I ask you about something?"
The woman got up and moved Sebastian out of the way. "Monster, do stop irritating my butler."
Alucard sighed, "Of course master. But perhaps you would enjoy telling me of just how this butler came into your arsenal?"
Sebastian quickly interrupted, "I apologize vampire, but our master has a very important schedule to attend to this morning." He turned to Integra, "May I remind you Sir, that you have a meeting with Sir Penwood at 8:30 and then Sir Irons at 10?"
"I didn't forget Sebastian. Perhaps later this evening Alucard. If I can recall I have a free schedule then, correct Sebastian?" she turned to the butler.
"Yes master, your afternoon schedule is empty." The butler sighed, "I suppose you could book it with storytime."
"Alright then, Alucard. I'll be in the living room at 1 in the afternoon, if you truly desire to hear how I came to posses this butler, be there." With that Integra turned and left the room to go and dress herself in one of her typical suits.
"Its been a mere 7 hours, and yet you already know how to irritate me so well. Congratulations must be in order. And giving such disrespect to our master." The butler glared at Alucard.
"I'm merely being playful." Alucard chuckled.
Sebastian sighed in defeat. "Alright monster, go out and play. Perhaps with Ms. Victoria? However, you must leave me alone. I have to prepare for Sir Penwood, Sir Irons, and our master's lunch. Oh dear, I forgot she's also running low on that brand of alcohol of which she enjoys so. I shall have to go into town now and get some for her."
The monster grinned, perhaps he could use this as a way to inspect old London town? It must have changed plenty, after all it was hit far worse than the manor. Just the thought of the battle sent tingles down his spine. What a good war that was, so much fun. "I remember her favorite brand, unless it has changed. Let me take a weight off your shoulders butler. Let me go and get her alcohol, you won't have to leave the manor. You can spend even more time preparing to perfection."
Sebastian considered his options carefully. On one hand, he would be able to spend more time preparing and that was always nice. On the other, who knows what this monstrous vampire would do in London. It was likely he had not had a proper drink in years, and it was evident last night and this morning by his antagonizing nature that he was still itching to fight something, to kill. Sebastian sighed and tosses a small pouch of money at the vampire. "Take Ms. Victoria with you please, you may take all the time you wish however remember your master expects you home by 1." At least Ms. Victoria is not homicidal like this vampire, apparently her master. He was certain that she would stop him if he attempted anything. "Now leave vampire." he said before turning around to begin preparations. He would have to begin by making some tea for Penwood and Irons, they were not as big on drinking as his master was, especially at important meetings about finances and such. He began his checklist as he made his way to the kitchen.
Alucard was grinning, he was going back to London to see it all. Maybe even get himself a nice snack. Then again, there was the problem of the police girl going with him. From what he could tell she had not changed a bit either. And that would be a problem, she would prevent him from having any fun with all of her human emotions. That reminded him, despite the fact she now drank blood she was still only a fledgling. She'd never drank her master's blood, never broken free of him. That would have to change soon, but while she was still his servant, his fledgling, he would be able to order her not to interfere with his fun. So maybe there was an advantage to her not drinking from him yet. He chuckled to himself and walked to Seras' room. He stopped in front of her door but did not enter. I have yet to check on my own room, he realized. He decided now was a better time than any to finally go and see what his master had done with his room.
He walked down the staircase leading to his room, so far so good. He was now at the door of his room. He walked through it and smiled. Nothing had been changed, the room had even been kept clean. Not even a speck of dust could be found anywhere. He eyed his chair and the small stand beside it, two wine glasses empty on it. He then moved his eyes to the corner in the back where his coffin was. He walked back there and inside noticed a small block of cement or concrete. On it was the same pattern as the seals of his gloves. What was this? A memorial to him? He laughed a bit, she had cared enough to get him a memorial to commemorate his disappearance. 'How sweet of my master,' he thought as he laughed to himself. He supposed it was time to get Seras and head out to London now. He grinned as he returned to her room ready to go out to town.
