Dolly adjusted her hair a bit before knocking on the heavy wooden door. "Sir Hellsing? I'm Dolly Hasdeu, of the Syndicate of Silver. I'm here to inquire about your cooperation in vampiric matters." She tried to reign in her pointed teeth as much as possible. She doubted a woman who was reputedly keeping Count Dracula in her basement would be heavily prejudiced against working with vampires, but it was always safest to project the most human appearance possible in these situations.

"Enter." Integral calls, not bothering to look up from her paperwork. Over the years, she had learned that it was impossiable to understand anything anyone said from the other side of that door, Except Walter, who was very predictable, however, People had a tendancy to repeat themselves once inside her office... The muffled voice outside her door was sweet and tiny, not unlike the little vampiress Andrew carted about on his shoulder, However, it also seemed a bit rough...darker, somehow, than Nora's tinkling voice... The knight quickly brushes some things out of the way, sweeping, in one motion, her papers and cigar box off of her desk.

Dolly steps into the room and stands in front of the door, ankles together. "Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, I presume? I'm Dolores Hasdeu." She smooths out her billowy skirt and smiles. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I look forward to working with you."

The blonde blinks at the little girl before her. "Working with me?" She stands and makes her way around the desk and bows to shake the little girl's hand. "Yes. I am Sir Integral... May I help you?"

Dolly shakes the knights hand as warmly as a lifeless creature is able. "I'm in charge of the Syndicate of Silver. We're a vampire hunting organization based in Romania and Eastern Europe in general. I've come to you today in the interest of international cooperation." Her smile widens slightly and she continues. "We've managed to avoid stepping on any toes for some time now, but I've heard reports that encounters between organizations aren't always so pleasant. I'm hoping to avoid that to the best of my ability."

Blinking, Integral nods slowly. "Yes...The Vatican's organization often over steps their boundries...We've had some difficulty with them." she murmurs, releasing the girl's cold hand, and motioning to the chair before her desk. "Please, sit down."

Dolly sits daintily, hands folded neatly in her lap. "I've read reports of such things," she said with a nod. "We've avoided association with a particular religion for that very reason. Well, that and the disparity in dominant religions in the regions we cater to." She straightens her back slightly. "Which, actually, brings me to my business here. My organization has been tracing a particularly bloodthirsty vampire for quite some time; he's been known to destroy entire families. As it turns out, we've recently discovered that he's run off to England. I thought, rather than butt heads over the matter, it would be far more constructive for us to be on amiable terms." She smiled her most pleasant smile. This was going even better than she had hoped.

Integral's eyes widen. There had been no reports lately...and, from experience, the woman had learned that no attacks was not necessiarily a good thing. It means the creatures of the night are usually plotting... "Of course! It would be a pleasure and my duty to assist you in any way possiable!"

Dolly leaned back in her seat. "I'm so glad we can cooperate. The Syndicate of Silver is glad to work alongside Hellsing in out mutual cause." Her smile widened. Perfect. Everything was falling into place more neatly than she could have planned for. Soon she could have her long-sought vengeance. "Hopefully we'll take this terrible monster out in short order."

Nodding curtly, Integral turns on her heel and darts back around her desk, where she flips open her laptop and begins hacking away at the keyboard. "Where was the creature's last known location?" she asks.

Dolly thinks for a moment, not allowing her face to display her brief mental panic. "Well, there were long-standing rumors that he'd fled to Britain, but nothing concrete enough to move on. For some time, we had thought he might have already been slayed. But there was finally a confirmed sighting in Carfax Abbey..." she paused to smile at Integral, "if you can believe the irony."

Integral pauses for a moment. "How long ago was this sighting?" she asks, then continues to type, raising her cobalt eyes to meet the little girl's scarlet ones.

Dolly pauses in thought for a moment. She decides to add another row in the tapestry of deceptive half-truths she's been weaving. "I received the confirmation about...a month ago? Maybe two?" There was no need to tell her that the confirmation of the creature's continued existence and the sightings in Carfax Abbey were decades apart. "I'd have been here sooner, but I need to plan journeys to England carefully in my condition, as I'm sure you're well aware."

Closing her laptop, The blonde folds her arms on top of it. "Right. Shall I invite this monster upstairs? He's out somewhere, currently, but he can back immedieatly..." Fatal move, there, Dolly, faultering, tripping over what should be vital information. Integral nods to herself. Yes, it made perfect sense now...
