But he'd rather cook. It relaxes him, going through the motions. Making sure that there's something creative made of frustrations, and then it fills a true need. It's alchemy in it's way, and it feels like a magic that, if not in par with Sypha's, is at least something of Alucard's own.]
I'll go get started, and finish the last of the wards when I'm done.
[Alucard can hear your stomach, Trevor. It's a reminder of how long the day has been, just as the kiss to his hand is a reminder that Alucard's worry is becoming far too much.
He withdraws to the kitchen. Fills a pot with water and a few herbs and a lemon, and puts it all to boil while the chicken in the refrigerator is brought out and butterflied. Alucard knows his kitchen benefits from all of Dracula's advanced technology, putting it a century ahead of all other kitchens in London.
Poached chicken breast isn't much. Steamed carrots isn't anything very special. But it comes together quickly, and Alucard knows that the fires will be lit long before he's done cooking.
