/SEXY BEACH PARTY
[As soon as the sun had slid behind the horizon, pierced deep in the chest by the mountains (and wasn't that imagery that brought back memories), Alucard had felt an ache easing in him.
he hadn't even known he'd had it, but returning home to Wallachia, returning home to brutal winters and great wolfhounds in the kennels and standoffish corpulent woman cooks who made food to coat your bones and warm them, warm them, was good. it soothed him. he had missed his motherland. every land had a scent, and there was no smell good as home.
he watched the thick snow fall through the double French windows of the castle he (a wealthy foreigner, he'd said he was, from England for some years now- not a lie, certainly not the truth) had recovered. it was odd to see it turned to peacetime purposes. he still couldn't shake the feeling of wartimes come when he paced its corridors, but ah, ah. he was a fossil, an old man, a monster of time. what did it matter?
not much.
turning away, Alucard shrugged on a smoking jacket, eyeballed his library lazily, and stepped out into the hallway, intent on standing on the garrets and enjoying a good cigar for an hour or two. perhaps he'd hear the wolves this night.]

Once he's opened the door, though, she studies him. Paler than any Ras Tiegan, that's for sure.]
Good thing they'd find me a tough kill, then.
[She steps inside nonetheless, eager enough for the warmth.]
Forget about the bath, but if you've got whisky I'd love a glass.
[That'll do more for warming her insides than any change of clothing.]

Very well. We're hardly short of the stuff- I was indulging a bit myself, prior to your... arrival. [the door slams shut, probably just forced from the violent gust of wind that swept the courtyard just now. Alucard leads the way inside, shouldering open the heavy front door and waving over a sleepy-eyed servant.]
Have her given clean clothes and hot tea, and then deliver her to my library, if you will. [he pauses, just for a moment, politely leaving a gap for any objections.]

[Nyx tilted an eyebrow up, letting it be a challenge. She'd lived in worse, hell, the classy clothing on her world was all organic, made out of living bugs that could adapt and let air in. A little snow on the outside of her coat, on her pants, was hardly worth fussing over.]
And I'm always fond of having my liquor sooner, rather than later.
[Nyx might be an unexpected visitor, but that didn't mean she wouldn't be pushy. He could try to throw her out again if he didn't like it.]
