"I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to hide from Alucard. He's barely moved from my bed all week, save the incident yesterday. He hardly leaves room for me, the bastard."

One red apple, sliced and diced into chunks of near-uniform size, became the newest addition to a bowl of mixed greens and small cherry tomatoes. Next came the carrots; one cut into thin strips for the purpose of being added to the salad, and two cut in the normal fashion to go with the main course. Everything had been pre-rinsed, so he didn't have to worry about dirtying the knife he was using.

Well he has now, he's in my room, in my bed! Him and Miss Integra, and they won't get out and they keep making me run stupid errands for them. They're turning it into a pigsty." she complained.

[angel_of_death]

"They're sharing the same bed?"

For a moment, Walter was unsteady on his feet, his body swaying a little until he took a step back for better footing. Jealousy and worry gnawed at him simultaneously; his partner should not be in anyone else's bed but his... and beyond that, Integra in her lethargic state did not have the reflexes to push him away if his hunger got the better of him.

"I suppose I'll have to fix things, as always."

While he supposed Seras had little choice in the matter due to the nature of her connection to both Alucard and Integra, it would be nice if-- for once-- the problems of the household didn't require his specific attention to be resolved.

Seras huffed against the table, "Last I knew." her tone was grouchy, her mind not going where Walter's thoughts had gone, still mostly indignant that she was being treated like a damn slave. "I turned off my NV and left it in the bathroom, before I get told to go get more ice-cream or donuts or flipping brandy! She must be getting sloshed on the stuff."

The vampire peered up from her arms as he said that, "Good luck, they don't seem to be giving a white for anyone's opinion. I bloody well yelled at her, she might as well have been deaf."

[angel_of_death]

"You think she's difficult? You should have seen her father. Arthur Hellsing could completely trash a room in twenty four hours without even trying. He drank whiskey like most drank tea or water. And he was constantly trying to bring tarts into the house."

Setting down the knife, Walter turned to face the draculina.

"This? What you've complained about? It's easy compared to what I dealt with on a regular basis."

[bloodthirsts]

"She's never been like this before." Seras muttered, raising her eyebrows. "... gross. At least she hasn't gone that far." if Integra had added a bloke to her neverending list Seras might have gone ahead and shot herself.

"Honestly the words she's been saying, I've never heard the like. Miss Integra's always been so professional and... and not a slob."

[angel_of_death]

"You suspect something is causing it?"

Leaning back and bracing his weight against the counter, Walter sighed.

"Of course there's a cause. There's always a cause, isn't there. I could never be lucky enough for things to go smoothly or to follow a normal, reasonable pattern. So I suppose the more appropriate question is what do you think is causing it?"

[bloodthirsts]

"It's out of character for certain." Seras said, not thinking that maybe she'd been acting out of character too.

She had to shrug, "You and me, both... Your guess is as good as mine, not a damn clue. If there was I'd have gone out and made it swallow its own teeth already."

[angel_of_death]

"Ah, so Miss Victoria has a violent side. I'm sure Alucard will be pleased about that."

Much to his consternation, such words led him to even more unpleasant thoughts. However, before he could permit himself to lose himself to them, he had an important matter to attend to. He needed to separate Integra and Alucard.

"Unfortunately you'll have to excuse me a moment. I have a lady to extract from your bedroom. Look after the oven while I'm gone, will you?"

[bloodthirsts]

Her lips twitched up into a small smirk, "When it's warranted, I do. Sure, I'll watch the oven, thanks so much, Walter. Stupid supernatural bonds."
