[He plants his hands flat on the table, fingers spread, and hunches just a little. Enough to avoid having his head struck, though it's more force of habit than anything else; he isn't anticipating Alucard to make such a mistake. The man has impeccable aim with those guns of his and no doubt that'll extend to this as well.
A breath leaves him at the contact of Alucard's knuckles. It's a reminder of why they're doing this, why they need it. He turns his head to observe Alucard take position behind him, watching him in his peripheral vision, and only lets his gaze drop back to the surface of the desk at the first lift of the flogger.]
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum-
[It's testament to his fortitude that he doesn't make a sound when the leather cracks down. The afflicted skin steadily begins to heal, but there's a mark or two lagging behind by the time the flogger is applied again, and Alucard might be able to overcome the healing, with enough persistence.
Either way, the sting reverberates through Anderson's body for far long than any marks.]
Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
