She couldn't believe exactly what she had done earlier that morning. Did she really give in? There was no way that happened. Perhaps it was some strange dream, it wouldn't surprise her given the past events that she witnessed in her sleep. But still, why would she dream about something like that? Well, the human brain can be quite fickle, she reassured herself.

Rolling onto her side she looked over to the set of flowers that had been placed there for a day or so and still they looked fresh. Was it something in the water? Maybe, but currently it didn't matter all that much. She had much more pressing matters to look into. It still haunted her that she became so open with Alucard. She had never shown herself like that to any other person in her life, Hell, just dressing in front of a mirror made her slightly uncomfortable so of course being nude in front of some strange man made her hairs stand.

With a groan she sat up and ran her fingers through her hair in an attempt to calm herself. In response her stomach gurgled rather noisily. With a sigh she decided it'd be best if she did eat, after all, all of the anxiety getting to her was making her lose weight little by little.

"Good morning Miss Carpathia, care for something to eat? How about some breakfast tea?" Walter greeted her as she entered the dining room. Her head felt light so she quickly sat herself down as he pulled out the chair.

"Are you alright? You seem out of sorts Miss Carpathia." tilting his head the inquisitive butler stood by her curious as to why she had been so eager to sit.

"Oh it's nothing, I've just had anemia for the past year. Sometimes if I go too long without eating I feel faint. It's not that big of a deal." with a sheepish smile she explained her annoying condition that often prohibited her from playing sports or engaging in any laborious activity. It was quite the hassle really.

"Oh my, I assume you took some sort of supplement yes? Perhaps I could fetch you something to act as a substitute." Walter offered kindly.

"While it would be nice, I'd hate to trouble you." fiddling with her fingers she replied.

"It'd be no trouble at all Miss Carpathia, anything for our-" Walter had been cut off mid sentence.

A shadowy figure suddenly appeared behind Elyza and engulfed her body with large arms. How could she face him right now? She was far too embarrassed to even look him in the eye... This wasn't good, especially with Walter here, he could figure something out and tell Sir Integra. Who knows what kind of trouble that could cause.

"A-Alucard?" stuttering she struggled as his hands clutched tightly to her breasts. Did he have no sense of privacy or shame?!

"Hey!" she objected to the gesture while Walter merely turned the other with with a slightly disappoint breath. Alucard was being Alucard...

"Good morning my dear Elyza," he started as he kissed her cheek lightly "what seems to be troubling you?" as a gentle gesture he lifted her and placed Elyza on his lap allowing him to have physical access to her at all times.

"N-N-Nothing, j-just uhm, well, my anemia has been getting to m-me." shakily she replied as she fumbled over her words. She hid her eyes as her face flushed, being on his lap reminded her exactly of what happened in the bathtub and how he had been, well, excited.

"Why must humans be so susceptible to illness? It's quite troublesome." sounding disgruntled with this news, while he did not know this particular ailment, it troubled him none the less.

"Allow me to fetch you some supplements Miss Carpathia." with that Walter bowed and made a quick leave of the scene. Now they were currently alone...

"Please don't speak of this morning, I'm still upset." she shyly admitted under her breath. Yes he knew she was still digesting the contents of their morning, meanwhile his hunger had not been filled. He wanted more, so much more, yet, he must hold himself back for he runs the risk of turning her into a ghoul. No, he could not have their history repeat... Just the thought of her becoming one of those foul beasts made his innards churn and sorrow fill him.

"Why? Was I not to your standards? Or perhaps, you could not restrain yourself..." he purred as his hand trailed down her side and rested on her thigh. The black pleated skirt that had been lent to her was proving to be useful given he had direct access to her skin.

"I-I mean, no, b-but, it's just a bit sudden for me. I don't even know you that well and yet here I am sitting on your lap while you touch my skin. How exactly am I supposed to process this? It's a bit much you know?" grabbing his gloved hand she drove his palm to her knee rather than her thigh where she was vulnerable. Would he listen to her? She could only hope.

With a scowl he could not help but to oblige to her request of being allowed to process everything happening around her. He feared he may scare her off, and even while he could just force her to surrender, he wanted obedience to be true, not forced.

Her thoughts lingered for a moment, the image of him standing there unashamed and completely nude. His clothes hid quite a bit of him she realized; his toned body was nothing to sneeze at or especially his size... Wait! Now was not the time to think about these matters! Why did she even bother to think about something so embarrassing.

Breaking the silence her stomach whined. In response her hands went to clutch her empty stomach; it was so empty that it began to emit a dull pain.

"I've forgotten how needy humans can be." he stated as he realized that Elyza hungered for real food. With Walter gone who could cook? Certainly not his master, she was too busy with various documents and legal matters. Perhaps it could be left up to him to cook for his famished wife... He had never cooked in his life and surely had never seen the correct preparation of most foods. His food usually ran away from him.

"Can you show me where the kitchen is?" Elyza stood from his lap and turned around to greet her with quite the drained expression.

Perhaps she was more self-sufficient than he expected. However, he could not allow her to do all the work, after all, he was her caretaker.

Without a proper response, Alucard quickly picked Elyza up bridal style. In disdain she squirmed for a bit before realizing he only meant to help her current situation; he lead her to the so-said kitchen with strideful steps.

"T-Thank you." she dared not make eye contact with Alucard fearing her face would shoot up in flames.

A word of thanks?

"Anything for my beloved." and with that he lightly kissed her cheek before continuing onward. Easily embarrassed she could feel her body temperature rise as he brushed his lips over her flesh.
