"You could've been nicer to the unicorn. Maybe it would have liked you better."
Other people might not have been able to say that with a straight face. Integra is not other people.
On the horse and out to meet him, the animal halts a little when they get close to Alucard, but calms when she jerks the reins authoritatively. Apparently the desire to behave for its rider overrules fear of that thing. "I assume you're going to take the opportunity to enforce our security while we're out?" She tries not to smile - the notion that the woods in the area are haunted serves them well. It doesn't hurt to add a little drama to the legends, here and there.
