[Restless energy. Alucard nods, he takes the meaning.]

It seems easier, out here. [Less complicated. Less nuance, because survival is the point.]

I'd love to see it some time. The garden, I mean.

If you wish, I live in the old aristocratic part of the section of Haven they set aside for the Mirrorbound. You cannot miss it, I've been told it can look a bit intimidating. [It's. It's a giant Haunted Mansion, honestly. Moreso given who lives there.] You'll have to tell the two Monsters that live there you're here to see me. They can be a bit snappy with people they don't recognize.

[A gentle understatement; the whole house is full of people with wonky moral compasses who think murder is actually a perfectly acceptable reaction to things.]

The garden is losing its color for the winter, however. It was rather spectacular in the summer, and I have greater plans for the coming seasons. [She's apparently in it for the long haul, though. She's making plans that far out.]

Then I'll have to make an effort to come by sooner rather than later.

[Alucard doesn't doubt the invitation's sincerity. Not in the least. There's also a very sly smile as Maria calls the place intimidating.]

And as for any intimidation, I am almost certain that the home where I grew up outstrips it's menace.

[There's a sudden yell beyond them both though, and that seems to indicate only one thing:]

I suspect that's the end of our break.

I don't see what makes people so afraid of it, so I have no doubts. [She has such a nice garden, and she even took down the turnip heads-on-pikes she had for decoration during October. If she thinks about it, she wouldn't call Cainhurst Castle very intimidating, from what she remembers of it. During the time of Bloodborne's game proper, certainly, but she doesn't know about the Executioners and their campaign against the Vilebloods, how the Castle is now filled with the sobbing of the ghosts of the residents, so much so it sounds like the very walls are grieving. Perhaps she would have a different opinion if she saw what became of it after she...]

Ah. I suppose that is so. I will look forward to it - and I'll let Kaede and Giorno know to potentially expect a guest. It will make things much easier.

Perhaps an expert eye could at least offer some insight.

[Alucard's smile is actually charming for once. Admitting that he's made a joke and enjoying it. The whole thing is novel given how he's reacted to the situation so far, and well. Maria feels like someone he could stand to spend more time around.]

I'll alert you when I intend to come over as well. No nasty surprises.
