I do not intend to die, Alucard. Nor could I stand by and watch danger float around the necks of my people. You will be better equipped with aid.

[ Rafa knows he's not as powerful as Alucard, or Adrien, or Ignacio. It doesn't matter; he's bested more powerful challenges before, and he doesn't intend to avoid one out of fear. That has never been the kind of him. ]

If there were more of us together, trusting each other, that would help as well. Then you could call upon us as you needed us. We are all the weaker for division.
