[ Hm there's definitely some kind of vampire blood joke to be made there. Thankfully(?) Yzak is not the man to make that joke.
Grabbing at one of the glasses, too, he pours a small amount of the amber liquid into it. ]
Is this offer intended to be a celebration that we're finally out of that mess, because of the shit we had to put up with back there, or a bit of both?
[ It's still incredibly lucky, he thinks, that he had it on him and used it in time. If he'd hesitated even a little ... Yzak feels bad enough that he gave the man a concussion and membership to the face-scar club.
He goes to take another drink, and regards Alucard over the rim of the cup when he speaks, eyebrows raising. ]
They were used to being betrayed. And I am not the most forthcoming by nature.
[ he had thought he had made the castle warm enough. inviting. he opened the doors, he showed them the hold. what more could he have done? how badly had he failed them?
but those thoughts fell to the wayside when he killed them. when he sobbed on his bedroom floor. ]
So they came to me when I was lonely. Seduced me. I was — too receptive to realize the truth.
So the betrayed do exactly what they undoubtedly hated done to them. [ There's a look of disgust on this face. ] I probably would have killed them, too. [ For not only betrayal, but for the particularly cruel and manipulative way they went about it. ]
I'm sorry you had to deal with people like them - and that they did that to you. And that it all had to be dredged up on this mission. That kind of shit ends up happening too much...!
No, you're right about that. I've dealt with the consequences of doing the same.
The suffering spreads to others, and yet the suffering inside of you only grows stronger instead of easing. It doesn't stop. And it won't ever stop, unless you want to find your way out of it.
But, [ He waves a hand. ] you're probably well aware of all of that already. You're here, after all.
He was the last Belmonts, a vampire-hunting clan. Dedicated to fighting back the dark. However, the church turned on them and he was the only survivor.
An unmitigated ass who'd drink himself silly if he could. But my debt to him remains.

[ He brings the cup up to his lips to take a small sip. And then he scowls. ]
Those things ended up catching me, too.

Thankfully for Newton, he carries a taser with a hell of a charge to it.

I saw visions of the last people who betrayed me. Which was disconcerting since I killed them and stuck them up on pikes.

That definitely gets the message across.

I was upset. And I suppose I can be more like my father than I realize.

You said they came to you for help. So they sought you out only to fuck you over in the end?

I cannot act on my anger and pain alone. Too many would suffer for it if I did.

Vampire-hunter, huh? So I assume you probably didn't start out on the best terms.
Why did the church betray his clan? I'm not surprised that they did, but...

[ alucard is being very generous here. ]
And to them, it seemed like consorting with the dark.
