[Sometime after the Escort Missions are completed, Alucard speaks up on the network, sounding weary.]

I loathe to ask this of any of you, though I respect any who wish to decline my request. If you accept, know that I am incredibly grateful for it.

I require a bit of blood, if you have it. I know not all of you do. I will not accept it from someone who is ill.

Should you wish an explanation, or have further questions, I will answer them. I am open to discussing on methods of bloodletting if you would consider to donate it to me.

[fourscores]

Certainly, if you need it.

Don't tell me you've been starving yourself this entire mission.

[reposing]

Not exactly.

[He's had like animal blood ok]

Though perhaps I did not plan as well as I should have. My injuries don't heal as well if I've not eaten for a time.

But know that I'm incredibly grateful, Jhin.

[fourscores]

Partially starved then.

Are you going to need people to make sure you eat on missions?

[reposing]

[Alucard chuckles dryly.] If you wonder if you must mother me, then no, that won't be necessary.

[fourscores]

And yet here you are, having forgotten to eat.

[reposing]

I did not forget.

[fourscores]

Brushed aside for other matters you deemed more important?

[reposing]

...Something like that. [yes]

[fourscores]

So you do need someone to mother you.

[reposing]

I do not, in fact, need to perceive you as a maternal figure. I would prefer to think of you as a friend.

[fourscores]

[He chuckles.]

Then would you be opposed to friendly reminders? If you're already forgoing blood to ensure the well being of others, I would hate to see you on more chaotic missions.

[reposing]

[He sighs, relenting.]

I suppose I could not refuse that.

[fourscores]

Good. I'll be sure to check on you every mission. And do try to avoid starving yourself for the rest of this one.

[reposing]

[Sighs a little.] Yes, yes. As you say.
