By the time Seras is pressing herself to his back, Alfred is trembling, half there and half gone, cringing at the scent of her blood as it seeps into his shirt. It smells good, he wants it and that scares him, too. He doesn't want her to leave, but he's self-aware enough to know that it isn't safe, that HE isn't safe.
His heart is still, but it aches all the same. This is Seras, after all. Sweet, funny Seras who shares her bed with him so he doesn't have to be alone in the castle. Who has flour fights with him in the kitchen that end in them both patched with white and giggling. Who has been so patient with him, so gentle, so kind and grateful.
And now here they are, with another vampire tumbling into the picture to snatch her away. Not only that, but he can't be sure if the vampire standing in the way is this Master, or if it's...himself.
He sobs, head lolling forward, blood running down his cheeks.
It's so loud here, in this room. The Song is so loud, louder than ever, more...seductive. He freezes, realization dawning on him as he gently rests his hand over hers.
...He could use it. He did by mistake only the night before. He could use it, if he just...tries....
When he turns, looking down, his eyes finally focus on her, a strange, intense expression dawning slowly on his face.
He could keep her, if he wanted.
It would be so easy.
For a moment, he is silent...and then he raises one hand between them, fingers splaying and drifting gracefully through the air as he begins to sing, letting the tune that's been ringing in his head flow through him.
"Sink mit mir ins Meer der Zeit...Ich lehr dich was es heißt zu leben...."
