[No, no it wasn't a no... But she is still debating. Not setting him on fire, of course, but in this case, it had been Alucard who had been the instigator. So to speak.]
Mmm, if it hasn't been devoured by a performing bear named Trevor.
[Trevor's really not a bear. Alucard's considered him more of a feral cat. But he's got the scruffy charm of a bear some days, and he knows Sypha enjoys teasing the Belmont too much along those lines.]
[It's not her fault that Trevor bears (get it) many of the same traits as the hibernating mammal. Far too many, really, although some of them Sypha does enjoy, like his snuggliness. She can get over his smell for that.]
All the more reason for you to... I might be persuaded to help.
[She looks at him, before giving a waggle of her eyebrows.]
Well, it would go a long way...
[But she gives a laugh, as she knows well enough that he can be silver tongued as well. Sypha is blunt and to the point, but Alucard can be very smooth.]
[That just means her finger flicks harder a second time, going for a third, but pausing at his suggestion. Not like they would need to steal his shirts, as he would likely join in all on his own, but at the same time... He did cheat with Alucard.]
Hmm. One of us can distract and the other can steal?
[Good come back, as Sypha has no qualms falling asleep right then and there, and would have pouted and complained about it if he hadn't covered his tracks.]
[Alucard knows that sometimes it's his lot in life to just be a bed of vampire tiddy for one or both of them to fall asleep against. It's a pretty good spot to be in life, truth be told.]

[He just squeezes Sypha a little bit more.]
Or I suppose I could just let it all go, come inside, and just eat my soup.
no subject
Your soup is likely already long gone.

[Trevor's really not a bear. Alucard's considered him more of a feral cat. But he's got the scruffy charm of a bear some days, and he knows Sypha enjoys teasing the Belmont too much along those lines.]
All the more reason to plot.

[Alucard pulls back just a little, mostly so he can make eye contact with Sypha.]
How ever shall my tongue match the words and cleverness of Speakers?
no subject
Well, it would go a long way...
[But she gives a laugh, as she knows well enough that he can be silver tongued as well. Sypha is blunt and to the point, but Alucard can be very smooth.]
I do so enjoy keeping you on your toes.
no subject
[He sees your waggled eyebrows missy and he's waggling them right back!]
But perhaps now is best for other things.
no subject
And you don't complain that.
[Just the opposite. But the smile lingers, earlier sour mood gone as she enjoys the banter between them.]
Such as...?
no subject
[He just likes being bossed around by speakers, what can he say?
There's no reaction to the finger in his side besides a soft huff.]
We could go steal all Trevor's shirts so he has to join us in being shirtless.
no subject
Hmm. One of us can distract and the other can steal?
no subject
[It's only fair to let Sypha pick which, as she has been the true victim here with shirtless prison.]
Either one of us in a state of undress is more than enough to serve as a distraction.
no subject
[Because then she can hide both of their shirts...]
no subject
Then I shall do so with a great sense of honor and duty.
[And not just get to make out with Trevor and get his tiddies grabbed, nope.]
But that does mean parting.
no subject
[As she's snuggling more deeply in to his side. He is comfy.]
no subject
[It's nice, having that warmth and snuggling back though. Alucard can't lie that he's missed it, and what a favorite moment it is in his day.]
Wouldn't be the worst thing, admittedly.
no subject
The shirts can go missing any time.
no subject
[Yeah no, that has no heat in it. One of Alucard's hands moves to gently stroke Sypha's back though, for now she is a very good angle for it.]
no subject
[Although neither.
Simply put, she's not going anywhere just yet, so Alucard's going to have to wait.]
Maybe... half an hour?
no subject
[Alucard knows that sometimes it's his lot in life to just be a bed of vampire tiddy for one or both of them to fall asleep against. It's a pretty good spot to be in life, truth be told.]
no subject
Or you could just let me sleep...
