[After the fight with John, D was not in good shape. Blood leaked from his ears, eyes, mouth, and nose and instead of his usual graceful walk D could only stagger. A large part of his right arm was simply gone and he had retrieved what was left of the limb and his sword with his left hand.
D's omen knew, as D did, that he needed help. It was also aware that calling help to him at the moment would be dangerous for most people who would respond, so it grew large enough to ward off the first two people who started to cross D's path.
The third, however, the omen remained small and didn't try to chase off.]

[ alucard has kept to himself lately. as kind as everyone has been, it was a little overwhelming still. and he has his own private griefs that swallow up his time. still, he makes sure to wander around time, acclimatise himself and also consider his own role.
and he smells it. blood. ]
This is a sight.

This is a sight.
[D's eyes still held a faint red glow and his fangs were coated in his own blood but still clearly visible. This is the Vampire half of a Dhampir.
He's recovered enough that he can hear Alucard's words and recognize him through the blinding pain in his skull and chest.]
I could use a hand.
[D's voice is as rough and unsteady as he is]

[D is grateful for the help, staying upright on his own is a challenge right now.]
He can damage internal organs at will. Exploding or crushing? Not sure.
[D's made it far enough from the fight that the 'he' isn't obvious.]
Get me away from- people.

If that's what you want. Just get me somewhere quiet.
[D is very reluctant to drop his sword or put it up, as weakened as he is. He's reasonably certain Alucard won't turn on him but this month has been very violent in its effects on Sleepers and Trenchies alike.]

[Rather than answer right away D sets down his sword and what's left of his arm to reach into one of his inner coat pockets and pull out a small jar. Opening it one handed would be tricky but D just holds it out for Alucard.]
Everything but the arm. I need you to eat a couple of the blueberries and then touch me. Their magic doesn't work on the person who eats them, only people they touch.
[When he started carrying around a jar of dried blueberries so he could help other people D never thought he'd be using it for himself.]

Trench.
[D is tired enough that he doesn't hide his amusement at Alucard's irritated look.]
It's not a joke, I don't have that kind of sense of humor. Or any talent with that kind of magic.

[Being on the receiving end of this is a strange feeling. The sudden regrowth of his arm is surprisingly less painful than he expected and while it doesn't do anything for all the blood he's covered in the pressure in D's chest and head ease up.
D's fingernails came back a bit longer than he'd like, too long to fit in his glove. But after a moment flexing and wiggling the fingers on his new hand he reaches in a different pocket for a different jar. Blood capsules like the ones he had Gaia give Alucard. He carefully takes four of them and swallows them without water.]
Ask your questions.
[D is just going to remove his sword's sheath from his back to put his sword into it and then lie down right there on the floor with the sword and sheath held in his left hand.]

[D's a little surprised that's what Alucard wants to know.]
John Gaius, the man calling himself god.

Extremely powerful, maybe even a close match for-
[It takes a little while but D's fangs recede back into his mouth and his eyes lose their glow and return to a deep black.]
I wouldn't call him a madman. If you could kill people as easily as look at them and return the dead to life as if they never died... People have claimed godhood for less.

Yes, but I haven't lied to you.
[D turns his head a little to look up at Alucard's face.]
If you're sure you want to know, I'll answer those questions too.

[D also grimaces at that question.]
You don't see the resemblance? I get my cursed blood from him.

What else would you call it? Burned by the sun, a hunger that never ends.
We aren't all fortunate enough to live on the same food as humans. I don't know of any other children of his who can.

It varies among Dhampirs. My vampire side is stronger than most. It's the same for... the rest of my siblings.
[D looks more visibly pained talking about this than he did when Alucard found him and with the pain is an incredibly deep and mournful sadness.]
