[ broadcast. ]

[ when alucard woke up, he saw metal and wondered briefly if he was trapped in another coffin. but clarity comes soon after and he notices the bright, strange lights. similar to the kind that reside in his father's castle but . . . better developed. smoother, even. alucard rises into the air before letting his feet touch the ground. strange as this may seem, alucard isn't one to panic. answers will come and he will find them. at the very least, this does not seem to be his father's work.

one could consider that a mercy.

after some time, alucard finally finds the communicator and manages to turn it on. people would notice immediately that he is extremely pale and handsome. they would also notice he's bare chested. when he speaks, it's polite and soft. ]

Greetings.

[ a pause as alucard wonders if it is working. still he forges on. ]

I seem to be missing a few of my clothes. Particularly my shirt. Where might I find some?

Someone showed me that when you have to face shadows that having others helps. You can do anything then. She touched me when no one else would then.

[Yona... He misses you so much.]

You feel like someone who has to face something like that.

[ananym]

I have others.

[ sort of. he hasn't gotten to know belmont and the speaker all that well. but he . . . feels he can rely on them. ]

And what I have to face will give me no comfort.

[twosidedsword]

[He nods in understanding. There is a lot of pain for Yona to face in the time to come. And perhaps more so since she doesn't know that all who are born Dragons die young. Having all of his friends doesn't bring comfort for what is to come and yet...

He reaches into the coat he's wearing and pulls out a wrapped something. After unwrapping it, it turns out it's a cookie. Something he now holds out to the other man.]

It...won't bring comfort. But it tastes good.

[ananym]

[ alucard blinks, surprised before his entire face softens. he takes the cookie carefully. ]

Thank you.

[twosidedsword]

[There's another nod before he points in the direction where he knows his ship is.]

...I am on the Heron. If you need someone.

[He's been learning that's how people offer help here. By saying which ship is theirs so that way people can know where to find them. He's trying to mimic that now. He's not very good at being social but he thinks maybe he could try to figure out how to be friends with new people? At least this person doesn't seem to mind him reaching out.]

[ananym]

[ needing someone. what a concept. it takes alucard to wrap his mind around it. but he needs people now. he has to accept that.

and it is kind. alucard is the last person to dismiss the value of kindness. ]

Thank you. I will not forget it.

[twosidedsword]

Mm.

[And because he...never learned how to properly say goodbye to someone, not really at any rate, he just sort of bows politely to him and then turns to just...leave.

Because he thinks the conversation is done? It feels like it?]
