So, a knight, was it? Sirius was interested, despite himself. Of course, it probably wasn't the best idea to wander off to meet some complete and utter stranger--but it wasn't as if he was defenseless or anything. And he'd already set this all up, it was important to follow through with it--however mean spirited it might be.

The Tower Apartments were rather close, but Sirius Apparated a few blocks away, too lazy to walk the entire distance. Once he'd arrived, well--there were a few people about. Right, so, which of these people looked the most knight-ish?

None of them, really. There were a few people about, but none of them exactly said "knight". No armor, anyways--that was compulsory for a knight, wasn't it? Sirius squinted at a few likely blokes, though none of them were overly likely. Just people talking with one another, and a little girl in a skirt

[atrumcanis]

The minute she shut her eyes, Sirius grinned. If she would have been looking, she might have been able to figure out the truth of the situation, just from a glance at that particular grin. But it couldn't be suppressed. This poor kid. Another brief flash of pity, too--which was certainly suppressed with more ease.

"All right," he said slowly, "hang on just a second more--" Well, five seconds--maybe ten. How long would she stand there with her eyes shut and those little hands in the air? She'd probably linger that way forever and ever if he didn't speak up--poor, poor stupid kid.

Sirius leaned forward and flicked his fingers against her nose very deliberately, quite hard. "Presto."

[hellsing_heir]

Integra thought she was ready. She was ready to fall back on her rear, for Alucard to re-invade her mind the moment she made contact with him, for feeling sick like she had when arriving in this place. She didn't move, once Integra had decided that she was going to do something, it would be seen though all the way.

"!!!" The girl stumbled back at the hard flick to her nose out of surprise, hands coming down to push Sirius' own away reflexively. Her eyes opened wide as she looked at him for a moment, before flicking around to find-

...Nothing. The same place she had been before.

She knew instantly that she had been had, and she set her mouth into a tight line, turning back to the man with a brief moment of pure ice cold anger in blue eyes behind her glasses. 'Calm calm calm down Integra you're better than this.' "You-" She started, then snapped her mouth closed before saying anything else.

[atrumcanis]

Sirius, for his part, only started laughing. The expression on her face--aww, she was irritated, maybe even more than irritated. Black, you might have gone too far--ah, well, it was too late for thoughts like that, right? Sirius was quite good at ignoring his more sensible thoughts--and even as he was ignoring them, he was aware that he was ignoring them--but, well, it really couldn't be helped. Her face was priceless. It was too good of a laugh to miss out on.

"What, still here?" That grin again--oh, it was an awful one; even he was aware of that. He made a show of looking at his hand--shook out his fingers as if trying to shock them into action. "Well! Must be a bit of a malfunction, Sir Hellsing. For being a knight, you aren't clever by a half, are you?"

Coming down from that initial glee at a trick well played, now, and Sirius' smile settled into something just a bit kinder. "Lesson the first, I s'ppose, is that no one's able to leave this place--else we all would have shuffled off long ago. Or didn't you think of that?"

[hellsing_heir]

How that grin made her really wish she had access to Alucard again, knowing that her vampire would be able to wipe it right off of his face. Wipe rip whatever-No, no that was not a nice thing to think, and was not the answer to her problems right now.

"It would of been more foolish to just believe that one couldn't because a few people said so." She retorted, voice tight. Twelve is to old to cry, damn it all, even moreso when you were a night. Of this she kept reminding herself, and it helped her not jump off into a tantrum in that very moment. She would give this arse a few more minutes of her time before leaving, just to show that his stupid trick wasn't going to throw her off, or make her act like a child.

[atrumcanis]

"Maybe, yeah," he agreed, still grinning. "But it would have been still more foolish to go along with all that. Which you did." Sirius crossed his arms over his chest and gave her another appraising sort of look. "What, how old are you--eleven?" Probably; she looked about the right height for a first year. "Didn't know that knights were so bloody gullible."

Well, she really was quite small. An it was too late to go back on it now, Sirius reminded himself yet again--but, still.

"Sorry I haven't got a means home for you," he said with the slightest bit of sincerity. That couldn't stand on its own, of course, so he was quick to follow it up. "I s'ppose you'll just have to trust that the servants won't be pocketing the silver while you're here, or whatever it is that you were concerned about. Do try not to fuss about it, though. You wouldn't want to draw any unneeded attention to yourself, after all." One last stab at scaring her wouldn't hurt, would it?

Sorry about the delay!

[hellsing_heir]

"I'm twelve." She told the man in a near huff, fingers twisting in the sides of her skirt. "And I'm not-"

...Well, she had fallen for it, had she not? Integra snorted and looked away, realizing this before the other had to say anything. Her Father would of been disappointed she had gone along with it. Alucard would of just found it amusing. That was what she got for not taking everything into account, it seemed. The girl looked back at him, eyes set. "I won't fall for foolish tricks again, but I will find a way to go home."

Severus acted like he expected her to stay here, it wasn't going to happen!

It's totally fine~

[atrumcanis]

"Oh, twelve, is it," he repeated with a slight sneer, "Merlin, what a difference a single year makes and oh how much more mature you are now. I certainly hope you won't fall for any tricks any longer, since most are likely not to be quite so harmless. After all, I didn't do much more than put that little nose of yours out of joint

[hellsing_heir]

She was trying to keep her cool, Integra really was. But this man was...was...such a git (She still half expected to hear 'Such a dirty mouth, Master' in the back of her mind, but once again it failed to happen.) that it was hard to do so. "Say what you will, but it makes all the difference in the world."

Hell, a month did at that. After the mess with her uncle attempting to kill her and Alucard bonding to her, if Integra had been any older she would of sworn the whole ordeal would of given her gray hairs. But, at the mention of this object-Was that the Core the Greeter had spoken of? Her interest was perked, but Integra would not have anything more to do with this man. She would have to find out later.

Instead, she merely nodded her head, pulling out a rather forced - "Have a good day." Between her teeth before turning on her heel and heading back inside, still seething, both at him and herself.

...Stupid!
