97 Not Human

Alucard led the way to the dining room, where a massive crimson red table stood at the very center. Around it were ostentatious-looking chairs, that looked to be made of silver bones, with skulls acting as the arms rests. One of the maids pulled a chair at the head of the table, before Alucard took a seat on it, gesturing for Tesse and Gray to join him.

“Please take a seat,” he smiled before snapping his fingers at one of the maids.

Gray carefully took a seat directly opposite his host, with Tesse taking the seat directly next to him. The cub remained on the floor, putting its head on its paws as it rested underneath Tesse’s chair. A few moments later the maids came back with two women dressed in white garments and two platters covered with silver bowls.

The maid presented one of the platters to Tesse, before removing the silver bowl. It looked to be some sort of vegetable meal, with green and orange cuttings sprinkled elegantly atop a purple lettucey-mass.
