❦ Two - [video]

[ Seemingly quite distressed despite everything said and done, a weary Haldir appears after several days of pure silence on his part. While many seem quite grateful and thankful for the feast, Haldir seems utterly aloof about it. Many probably would assume he's just being his usual "self" but those who do know him could probably sense his melancholic state. ]

They give us a feast to celebrate, yet I see no reason why we should. Had those fools acted sooner, we could've avoided such needless destruction.

[ He grumbles. ]

Perhaps there's no reason to lament so, yet still...

[ Unsure what to say, Haldir gives up and tries to set his bad mood aside. ]

Tell me, friends, is all well? Alucard, Legolas? I have not heard from many since the travesty first unfolded.

[ A soft sigh escapes him. ]

I must know, what sort of fate has befallen upon The White Wizard? He is another I have not heard from in some days now. The same goes for so many others who I'm certain attempted to be valiant in the face of death.

[ The elf sighs dramatically at his dimwitted friend. ]

As thick as the thickest iron, I see. I was merely jesting, Alucard.

[ He blinks wide-eyed, as if the concept of joking was completely beyond him ]

Ah, oh, forgive me. My mind was not in the right place. Although you are welcome to stay for as long as you wish, I doubt there is anything you could do that would lead me to not being able to stomach you.

[ Giving Alucard an unimpressed glare, Haldir suddenly leaned forward and ruffled the young man's hair until it was a complete mess. Once every blond strand stood straight up like a straw of hay, the elf pulled away with a smirk. ]

Don't seem so glum.

[ This startled Alucard and he almost shied away at the touch, looking up from his feet, to the elf, and back down again. It was rare that anyone felt comfortable enough to be this close to him, let alone ruffle his hair. The dhampir finally moved to try and smooth out his platinum locks. ]

I-- [ He stammers ] --yes, quite. Forgive me, I did not mean to come across as quite so depressive.
