Warnings: Possible language? SHENANIGANS. I'll edit if anything comes up.

How long had it been since Integra had last seen the ocean in all of its glory? Let alone a beach; such a trip was few and far between, unless it was directly involved with work somehow. Today, however, was not about work, but play.

Well, for most of the people coming along. For Integra, it was about sitting on the beach and simply admiring the view. And probably feeling insanely uncomfortable in a swimsuit, but THAT was a completely different issue all together. The very thought had her tugging her jacket ever so slightly tighter around her form.

Stepping onto the sand carrying in her hand a cooler full of ice, drinks, little snacks, and even a few blood packs for the resident vampires, she turned to glance at her fellow beach-goers, tilting her head. "...Where are we setting up?"

"Mm. While I was.... locked away? In the basement, perhaps. The original cell your grandfather kept me in for a while," Alucard speculated. He imagined that his own desiccation might have cut Arthur off from Alucard's power and thus all of that age and degradation would have caught up with him.

Of course, it was only a theory.

The fact that Alucard had figured it out on her own had her stiffening slightly, a deep frown marring her features. "...I didn't even know you existed until my Uncle Richard was attempting to murder me," was all she had to state in reply, forcing a shudder back at the memory. "He told me that, should something horrible happen, I was to go down into that cell and something would be waiting there to help me."

She closed her eyes for a moment at the memory. "...That something was you, of course."

His eyelids dropped, "I knew- I know the time will come when he will put me away. I am a dangerous creature in his opinion, and in times of peace, especially when he wishes to start a family, to marry- bring in some genteel woman who will bear you, well, I am under no delusion that I will be put away until I am needed."

Not that he wouldn't agree he was dangerous and Arthur had told him from the beginning that when he was not needed he would be set aside until he was.

"...I don't understand that mind frame," she stated honestly. All teasing aside, she could NEVER imagine putting Alucard back in that cell. Even as a little girl, when her fellow knights had jabbed their fingers in her face and screamed and yelled at her about having 'little girl emotions' and being 'too young to understand', she'd defended her decision to leave Alucard out and about.

She shook her head. "I could not, and would not do that to you."

"Mm. I believe you," Alucard's mouth pulled up at one side into a faint sort of smile.

"That is why I think we will get along well," After all, he had no desire to break away from Hellsing, it was a purpose, a goal. A land to protect now that he had none of his own.

"I promise it, I will never throw you back into that cell again," she stated. "Should for some reason I decide to have children, they will be raised the exact same way. No one will ever put you in there again."

She sighed. At home, she'd already declared that to the vampire, except she'd been much smaller and more... flaily when she'd done it. "Of course we will. You and I have always been very close."

"I believe you," Alucard said with a faint, fond smile. "You will be a loyal Master and I would be a willing, loyal Servant." He was a willing servant to the Hellsing family either way, but he had oft played fast and loose with that, to this one, he knew there would be a deep, abiding bond.

"Still cold, Integra?" He teased.

Considering that she'd been dragged into the ocean against her will, she was in a far better mood than she'd originally been in. Then again, for the most part, Alucard had that affect on her. It was his own little way of taking care of her, she supposed.

"No, thank goodness. I suppose after a few minutes you really do get used to the temperature," she supplied, glancing around and watching all of the children and adults alike splashing around in the water. "How are you faring in it?"

"Heh, I haven't thought of the ocean as anything more than an obstacle in all of my long life. But this is pleasant," He grinned. "I'm disappointed there are no sharks. I wanted to see if the could become vampires."

"I'm assuming we'd have to go further out for that," she replied, before sighing. "Or you know. Be sane and find sharks in a boat, although something tells me that you'd just end up with a bunch of disgusting tasting shark blood and a shark carcass..."

Suddenly, she was thinking of vampiric sharks, vampiric sea turtles, vampiric dolphins... "...What about turning a jelly fish into a vampire?"

"Do jellyfish even have blood? They look like blobs," He looked at her with an arched brow.

"We won't go farther out as we are now, maybe a boat. If this experiment fails, you can have the shark skinned and a nice pair of boots made," He chuckled.

"I'm assuming they do... everything has blood." ...Right?

"...At home, sharks are an endangered species. Does that rule apply here?" she asked suddenly, frowning. "Why don't you try it on a small fish first or something..."

"Who cares, most of the rules don't apply here, we look after ourselves and each other over others," Alucard fairly growled with amusement. "Do fish have blood? Even if they do, they lack in impressive teeth." And opened his jaws wide to show her his own sharklike fangs.

"I suppose so," she replied wearily, before tilting her head at the poor vampire again. "Yes, fish do have blood... I don't know how much you'd enjoy it, though," she warned. The very thought of fish blood -- well, at least the taste -- disgusted her.
