Hellsing – Failure (Integra cameo, Walter & Alucard - no pairing, just conversation you perverts)
Soundtrack: I didn't have one in mind this time
**AN: Insert standard disclaimer here – I own nada!
This was a conversation spawned from another Fic idea that I had. This wouldn't have fit into the structure I was working with, so I popped it out to be on its own. I know it's hella short, but you guys should be used to that kind of thing from me by now...
Integra stood like an iron spear, cold and unbending as the casket was lowered into the ground. It was first of a long line of boxes that would be interred that day, and the weather was appropriately miserable.
Drizzle collected on her sensible hat and trailed down her neck, but Integra refused to shiver in front of the dead.
Outside of the cemetery fence, the Hellsing retainers kept their own peace apart from the stream of mourners.
"I know what you are doing, Alucard." Walter's quiet voice was as cold as the northern sea.
"Oh?"
"You are trying to make Sir Integra into something she is not."
The vampire king's eyes glowed like embers in the misting rain. "I am merely her servant, I do as she bids."
"Bollocks," the butler growled. "The mission was simple and should never have cost this many lives. You're purposefully manipulating situations to twist her into something like you: cold and ruthless with no regard for the importance of human life. Give up this foolishness now, you will fail with her just as you did with me."
Alucard's laugh slithered across the elderly man's skin. "Are you so sure I failed, Angel of Death?"
