I'm not?

[????????????????????.]

Last I checked, I lack the assets history suggests you favour.

[ WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he just kind of sits there staring at his device for a moment before he replies, sounding absolutely dumbfounded. ]

Are you under the impression that I'm only physically attracted to women? That's--patently untrue. I don't really have a preference, between men and women.

What? No! I'm not that ignorant- no, I'm just so incredibly far off your usual type that I don't see how I could possibly be considered part of that category.

[There's been a ton of wives, okay. A little confusion is understandable.]

Mm. I see. Back in the day it was more proper, I suppose, but as time went on I expanded my horizons, so to speak. Anyway, the most attractive qualities to me are strength of will and strong character, but I have to admit--

--I like to be handled roughly. Someone the same size as me, or larger, becomes rather appealing in that context.

[ a beat passes, and then, almost reluctantly: ]

The blond doesn't hurt, either.

[ he has a thing for blondes, okay... ]

[He doesn't like this answer, and he only has himself to blame.]

Right, well. I think we ought to conclude this topic here. I already know more than I ever wished to.

The worst part is that I can't even stab you for any of this.

[Which won't stop him from stabbing Alucard anyway, but still. It's not much of a deterrent if Alucard enjoys it.]

[ he huffs out a breath that's almost a laugh: he's still annoyed at rip, really, for compromising things for him, but things could be worse, he supposes. ]

As you wish.

[ then: ]

Well, you certainly could stab me. You just don't want to.
