[As it turns out, Alucard is dumping the pasta out of the water and into the strainer, so there's a cloud of steam around him at first. He hears Sypha come in, but he has to shake off the excess water first, get the pasta back into the pot, then start ladeling sauce in to make sure that the spaghetti is evenly coated.
The table's already set, because of course it is, and there's bread set in a basket too, all sliced precisely on the bias. Alucard turns to reach for the actual ladel and...
...oh.
He's staring. Because it's hard not to, and because shit, did she go out of her way to buy that?]
That's...incredibly flattering on you.
[Better than YOU CLOTHES NICE which was the first thought he had.]
