There was the smallest hint of a smirk at these single word responses; there was a childish sort of innocence to them that amused Alucard. Like a babe begging for food and water Ashley had forgotten his manners, but that didn't really bother Alucard, it was nice to have such clear honesty when the world was so keen on concealing the truth. Himself included.

It was the follow-up question that bothered the dhampire. The story he had spun had little in the way of foundations and he did not feel very comfortable lying to Ashley, he didn't want this relationship (even if it was only to last a single evening) up be built on lies, he'd experienced the damage lying could cause and avoided it where possible. That wasn't to say that Alucard never lied, far from it, he lied a lot but the lies he spun were not only for his benefit, or at least that's what he told himself.

Rather than falsifying the truth once again he ignored that question and went back to the redhead's original statement. "What would you like to eat, I'll call down for it and order it for you. Although it will take time to be prepared." For Ashley, Alucard was willing to use one of his least liked pieces of technology from the twentieth century: the telephone.
