[ Strange says on the line but spends those two minutes cooing and 'whoosa good boy' towards his dragon. It's alright, the mean dhampir isn't swearing at you, you beautiful little boy. ]

Are you finished yet?

[Nope he's swearing at a very good boy's disaster of a dad.]

I am, yes. Anyway, what I was going to say was if I find anyone with that particular skill set, I will inform you.

Thank you.

[ there's an awkward pause before, ]

The dragon's name is Alistair Tourmaline, by the way. He's a very smart boy.

Mm. Good luck. My understanding is that you will need space for him soon.

[Is he stiff and awkward? Sure is!]

Oh, not for another few months at least. And I've got a place near the outskirts of Didymos. That should suffice until he gets too big to live there.

Just don't have it make you into a dragon born for a few years.

[It isn't a joke. Alucard sounds too genuinely concerned.]

I'm not even going to think about bringing up the dragonborn thing until he's an adult.

[ which...means he's going to bring up the dragonborn thing eventually. ]

[He. Knew. It. Strange is absolutely not going to be happy until he's dragon born.

God willing this kid is going to say dad no.]

...Good. I...back to the electricity then, does this mean you have a greater sense of control over it or...?

It does. It also means I can call forth a lightning bolt without falling on my ass.

[ he says, in a slightly teasing tone. ]

Congratulations on mastering the art of standing. I'm sure it was difficult. Where do you intend to progress, with that matter under your belt?

I don't know. I could continue examining this magic, but as I mentioned before, I've got that interest in empathic magic. Maybe I'll let the lightning be for now.

[ the more Alucard talks with Strange, the more apparent it is that the elf's magical sensibilities are 'jack of all trades, master of none.' ]

[That seems like a shitty idea. Alucard makes a soft little annoyed kind of noise, but not his magic. (Still his problem.)]

Well, be sure to return to it every so often. It'd be a shame if you lost the control you worked so hard to refine because of lack of continued exploration.

I don't know if you've noticed, but things try to kill us on a regular basis. [ he sarcastically says in a sarcastic tone. ] I'm certain I'll return to it sooner or later, if only for defense.

No, I hadn't at all. [Dry as the driest wines.]

Don't sleep on it too long then.

[Or really, good luck and don't fuck it up]

I'll call you if I find anything interesting.

[ because Alucard may be an ass, but he's a smart ass (and a smartass), so he's definitely reached 'person who I will bug about magic' tier in Strange's mind. ]

Likewise. Don't be too foolhardy.

[Strange lives up to the surname, in the end. For better, for worse, and ever for the all too curious so far as Alucard can tell.]
