dracula's moving castle

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

[Is he stiff and awkward? Sure is!]

[kingsroads]

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.

[cryptsleeper]

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.]

[kingsroads]

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. ]

[cryptsleeper]

[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...?

[kingsroads]

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

[ he says, in a slightly teasing tone. ]

[cryptsleeper]

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?

[kingsroads]

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.' ]

[cryptsleeper]

[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.

[kingsroads]

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.

[cryptsleeper]

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]

[kingsroads]

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. ]

[cryptsleeper]

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.]
