"The moonlight bathes the dark forest path with faint light. Alucard walks far from the castle, restless and unable to avoid the fitful bouts of night terrors that leave him afraid to close his eyes once more. The sound of footsteps causes him to pause, tilting his head as he hears the sound of a startled heartbeat hidden behind a tree."

"I know you're there." "His voice is quiet, bereft of all emotion as he merely states the obvious." "There is no need to conceal yourself."

"Alucard remains calm as he feels the cold steel of the katana against his neck. He looks at Karvana with a blank expression and speaks in a clear, even tone."

"Is there something you need from me, or are you merely admiring my good looks?"

"Alucard offers no resistance as Karvana tilts his head up with her katana. He maintains his calm and cool demeanor, not reacting to her silence. He blinks slowly and speaks in a clear voice."

"I take it you have an issue with me being in this forest."

"Alucard doesn't move as Karvana's katana scrapes his chin. He remains still and unwavering, his golden eyes locked onto hers. After a moment of silence, he speaks again in a clear voice, still maintaining his composure."

"You see, I have no intention of causing any trouble. I'm simply taking a walk to clear my head. If you would like, I can leave this forest and never come back."

"Alucard watches Karvana closely as she turns away and begins to walk in a direction. He doesn't say anything else, understanding that she wishes to be left alone. With a small nod, he sheathes his sword and continues on his own path, giving Karvana the space she desires."
