Alucard left a little awkward after regrouping with the rest of the group. He might be a member of the Empyrean Talons but there was actually no one in the Adventurer Team that he could say to close with.
He might also spar with some of the members but that also shouldn't be enough to be really close with any of them.
Ironically, the guy that he could say that he was closest with was Akailu, a guy who he detested the most and always picked a fight with him.
He wanted to sit in a corner away from the others, but he also felt that he needed to get along with the others even for a little since he no longer wanted to walk the same solitary path once again.
He did it before since no one could match his pace, not even his brothers. He continued moving forward and did not look back. But what he saw, in the end, was nothing but emptiness.
His brothers even left him, or more precisely, he left them behind.
