[Regina frowns slightly - and then makes a quiet, startled noise.]

Oh, no, please, Mami. Don't worry for me. I know Alucard. I know...

[Well. Saying she can manage him is idiotic. No one can manage the truly insane, and Alucard? If he isn't truly insane, he's certainly very close. But he does have patterns of behavior. Even if they are completely unpredictable.]

I know him. [Shifting, she leans forward, bridging the distance between her and Mami with a touch of her hand.] Understand, I know him well enough to know, too, that I will be safe.

[Sort of.]

And I am... capable of defending myself. Trust me.

[She gives Mami's arm a light squeeze.]
