[reposing]

Since it seems many of us are coming close to preparing to attempt to break down at least one of the locked doors, I find it necessary to prepare myself further and have the strength necessary to help.

As stated before, I am a dhampir. That is to say, I am half-vampire by my father. I look for any who bleed to volunteer and allow me to drink from you. The more that I have, the stronger that I will be.

With that request in place, I ask another: I want to know if anyone here has been properly ordained. I am in need of holy water.

For now, that is true. If not for my wound, I would not need so much.

[Alucard doesn't hide the guilt in his voice. He doesn't enjoy doing this, but he has no choice in so many ways.]

I will try not to.

[donkeyballs]

[ He hears the guilt and it makes his heart ache a bit. He stalls for a second by concentrating on finishing his juice before he hands it back and returns to holding the rag to his throat. ]

Look, kid, it ain't your fault. We all gotta eat, right? And it ain't like you've been hidin' this.

We'll just try to get you back on your feet as well as we can.

[The mug is taken, and Alucard pauses a moment. He smiles faintly to Alex.]

You have a kind heart, Alex.

[He holds out his hand.] Your neck should have stopped bleeding. However, if you prefer, I can apply a bandage.

[donkeyballs]

[ He didn't really know what to say, to the first part. His usual go-to for compliments was "thank you" which-- didn't quite fit the situation. Luckily Alucard continued so he could focus on that.

Carefully, he pulled the rag away, and it had indeed stopped bleeding.]

If it ain't too much trouble. Don't want to go an pick the scab open. [ He couldn't believe it had healed over that fast, but he also couldn't see it - he'd have to go inspect the wound in the mirror later. ]

[reposing]

Of course not. I'll have it taken care of.

[Without question, Alucard pulls out one of the first aid kits in order to use one of the bandages against Alex's neck.]

I would say you would need this for no more than a day, at most.

I pray that this will help us find what we need in this place.

[donkeyballs]

Thanks, kid.

[ He tilts his head away, waiting patiently, his heart rate finally back to something more normal. ]

Alright. Good to know.

[ He gave a sympathetic glance. ]

We learn somethin' either way, right? If it doesn't, that's one more thing we've tried, and we can move on down the list.

[reposing]

I simply... I hope that it helps.

[Alucard hesitates, but he opts to not say more than that.]

Thank you again, Alex. Let me know if you don't feel better by tonight.

[donkeyballs]

[ He gives Alucard a lazy salute. ]

Don't you worry about me, I'll be fine.

Good luck with the rest.

[ And then he heads out to go be yelled at by his friends... ]
