"Ow..." Soma would cringe, trying not to jerk his arm out of the others grasp. After everything that's happened, he really should know better than to be so careless. Letting a monster get close enough to swipe at him like that, Julius is certainly going to have some words for him when he gets home. Though, in his defense he hadn’t exactly encountered monsters outside of the castle, or the fake castle, so he wasn’t really prepared. Thankfully someone else had shown up.

"I... thank you, uh, for this." Soma would mumble, seeming almost embarrassed. "Are you a hunter?” He felt it was a fair question since she seemed to know exactly how to handle that monster and well, he wasn’t naïve enough to believe that Julius was the only living hunter. Though, Yoko, Arikado and him weren’t hunters and could fight, but still.

England, well--it wasn’t a place Sypha had ever thought they’d wind up, centuries out of their original time. But, with Alucard unaware and their descendants scattered, it was something of a chase against time and they had little to go upon except a surname: Aulin, one of the branch families of the Belnades descended into England. The streets were foggy and unpleasantly gray, especially compared to their fatherland that was its antithesis. But, aside from looking odd, there wasn’t much else for the former monk.

terrible first meetings / source!
