Alucard had ordered a few weapons lately, ones which would be customised for their intended owners and now Irisa’s were done he wanted Integra’s opinion. He’d ordered a gun and a knife both of which had been engraved in a style he thought appropriate to her, he had not named them though - that needed to be done by their owner in his opinion.
Fetching them he laid them out on the counter and unwrapped the cloth around them, “What do you think?”
Integra leaned over the counter to get a good look at them. “You have an eye for picking the best craftsmanship and details. I think she'll love them.” She kissed his cheek before looking at the weapons again. “I wonder what she'll name them.”
She reached out to carefully pick each up, testing balance and weight, nodding a little.
“I admit I’m intrigued by that myself” he said, the naming of weapons was important to Alucard and he wondered how Irisa would approach it.
“They should be perfectly balanced for her” he said, he’d given the designer all of Irisa’s details to work with.
“You would think of nothing less than making sure they were perfectly balanced for her.” she said honestly as she set them back down gently. Her lips turned upwards into a smile as she looked over at him.
“I do hope to see her face when they are gifted.”
“I’ll make sure you’re there” Alucard promised, they’d both taken Irisa under their wing and were rather protective and fond of her. “Did I tell you she didn’t like the idea of receiving a gift? She was worried she’d owe me back” he shook his head in disbelief.
She nodded. “Good I wouldn’t want to miss it.” she grinned a bit. “No, you didn’t. I love her and hope you told her the purpose of a gift is not to get one in return.” she shook her head in disbelief.
“Of course. I think her friend, Myrcella, has been working on her too” Alucard revealed, it had made him wonder why she’d thought that being given a gift would make her owe a debt. She’d obviously been given very little in her life, “We’ll work on her. Maybe shower her with gifts at Christmas until she gets over it” he mused with a small smirk.
She leaned back and grinned. “I think that’s a very good idea, actually. Best way to get over it is shower her with gifts until she gives up trying to pay us back for it all.” she waved a hand lazily. “I honestly hope she’ll get over it, she doesn’t need to ever worry about paying us back for anything”
“Precisely” Alucard agreed, “I think it’s the way she was brought up. Never to accept anything from anybody so they could never claim you owed them anything” It was very distrusting, even for Alucard. “She’ll learn soon enough that we don’t expect anything from her”
“All that I expect from her is her happiness.” she shrugged a little as she plunked down on a chair and stretched her legs out. “She deserves the best, I just wish she could see that too.”
“She will with our help” Alucard said, “She already trusts us more than I suspect she ever thought she would. A little more time and exposure to gifts and we’ll have her well trained in that too”
Integra laughed softly, eyes sparkling. She really did like Irisa, there was something about her that reminded Integra of herself. It was well worth the effort to get her used to their spoiling. And they did love spoiling their friends and loved ones. “I don’t think she ever expected it, but she’s truly blossomed under your watch.”
“She has. I’m very proud of her, she has a determined spirit and a kind heart that isn’t too naive” Alucard nodded, she was his protege and as such he was invested in her training and life in general.
Integra smiled a bit more as she ran a hand through her hair. “You picked a good student.” she pushed off where she was resting and stepped up to press a kiss to his cheek. “You’re a good man under that grumpy demeanor.”
Wrapping his arms around her he smiled, “Just don’t go telling everybody, I have a reputation to keep up”
