"Men are not dragons. They do not live so long, they do not infect others with their blood and their curse, closer to vampirs than any other creature I can think of." It isn't a dig at either of their heritages, but a cold and plain fact. Both things played and relied upon blood in ways other creatures did not. The results were never well recieved.
It is hard, watching that desperation. It is cruel to force her into this position, but the decision has already been made clear. The egg. The egg for all the good and ill that shall come with it, and maybe this argument will only make sense in retrospect. Alucard knows that the only thing that will shock him is if he is proven so very wrong.
Ellis is the first to turn around, trotting over to where the horse is. Her tail is in the air, her fur still on end. She is tense and she is very done with all of the dhampir's emotions, the both of them. Too much death, too much grief, too much dealing with 1 Whole Emotion with the Belmont, and now this.
"Be careful not to be blinded by whatever positive qualities you imbue upon it." It's as much as a vote of confidence of changing the thing's nature as he can remotely manage. Alucard knows that the smart thing to do right now is to withdraw. They know where they stand. It is a mark of greater maturity to walk away and not make things worse.
"This world has come so very far without the dragons. There is greater technology and harmony for it, with all I've observed. Beyond my personal grievances, my opposition remains as such for that reason."
He turns then, the first goal being helping Ellis up onto the horse. If circumstances weren't what they were, watching four wolf paws flail and struggle to find purchase would probably be the height of comedy.
