A guttural yet modulated voice hollered from the top of the grand stair-case that weaved down to the massive foyer below. Van Helsing in all his legendary demure stood like some valourous knight at the top of a dragon's mount at the top-most case, his hand situated upon the head of a sculpted cupid, who's twin fluttered its stony wings at the adjacent banister.
Fashionably late was all the rage in his time, though he was actually preoccupied with a call to Dr. Seward who was stuck behind his desk at the local sanitarium. The old man was fortunate to have a nearly full house-hold to greet his future heir, of whom he had so adored when he last laid his eyes upon her. Ah, but how she had grown... and how hardened she looked now.
Where had that fresh face and eyes of pure innocence gone to? Alas, he was not so forward to bring this immediate concern to light. He smiled, with a killing kindness suitable only to a Helsing and took a bow once he descended the dark claret flight of steps and approached.
"My Lady Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing... It is with much delight und rejoice to welcome you back, alas, though I know not if you can say such to myself."
There was no doubt he was beyond elated to see her again, yet he was unsure if the core had even allowed her to remember.
