[Trevor's ribbing gives Alucard just enough time to recover his total loss of dignity (to be clear, that's been gone for a while, he's just the only one who hasn't noticed it), and walk over to the front door.]

Regardless of where my concerns do or don't lie, I'm not sure what you thought stabbing the castle would achieve. Please don't do it again, even though I'm sure your family crypt just let out a round of applause.

[With no effort at all, he plucks the damned thing out of the door, offering it back to Trevor. It doesn't escape Alucard's notice that the stab is close to a few other markings (his mother showed them to Alucard once), and that gets a soft smile across his face for just a moment.

His free hand rests on the door of the castle itself, and so begins the overdramatic whirring and grinding of gears that means welcome home. Alucard's attention, however, is on Sypha, concern now coloring his voice.]

Why did you disable them?
