"Correct. I thank you for telling me this in advance," he replied smoothly, nodding once. To tromp through hostile territory -while fighting off any monsters- to earn nothing, that would make things between the two of them go sour almost immediately. And Alucard did not want to lose his only source of willing food.

At Adelheid's last question, however, Alucard grinned, licking his teeth. "Bloodlust, hmm? Well..that depends. I do have an 'inner' beast, so to speak. But as long as no one actively tries to aggravate me into losing my temper entirely...such uncontrollable rages should be easily avoidable."

"As for what I have done...well..." he hadn't really flew into such rages in quite a while. Integral kept him controlled. Alucard kept his hands neatly folded on the table. If one looked closely, one would be able to see faint inscriptions upon the pale skin.

"I go on a rampage, what else?" After which, Integral would bring him back to reality with a harsh tug on the leash.
