The agony of the leaves.
They writhe and explode.
The lemon and the rind.
Spit it out or swallow.

Having sipped his tea in seeming contemplation, he scoffed at Adam in bemusement. In a way, both the tea and the man before him were rather similar. Both failed to meet expectations, and left a bad taste in your mouth, hardly worthy to be in Bedivere's presence nor attention. That being said the tea was unimaginably horrid, far worse than the company of Adam, to which Bedivere merely pretended to down the foul brew before setting it aside.

"The council is shrinking. Few of the old keepers remain, and the underworld is in turmoil. Everyone is losing their grip on things. Even parts of my Isles are being lost with the new progression. And you believe that the Dark Dragon's Eldest needs to wake up? You are more foolish than the Dossier I skimmed over suggested. But let us entertain the absurdity of waking up a relic of the first war: One who failed and was Sealed by the first council where my Lady presided before bequeathing such honor to me. Were you even there when the decision was made to entomb him?

Regardless, before I chastise you further, for the sake of the hypothetical scenario: in the event that such a key you require exist, and should such a key exist and be found within my possession, why would I surrender such leverage to a lesser lord as yourself such that you may serve as Alucard's lapdog while he watches the echoes of his failure? That being said, perhaps you are misinformed of there not being one key, but three keys. The first went to Lady Natasha, Dracula's daughter and sister of Alucard, who was to bear the key was a token of her failure and never release him until the council had been victorious. The second was given to a rather powerful Sire, knowing that he would always survive longer than the rest with his abilities and personality, though in the event the council required the key, he would never give it up without some sort of fiendish machination. And the third... Well shall we say it is indeed in my collection.

Now then, what exactly can you offer me to gain from assisting a dimwit in unleashing a failure upon the world?"
