"That's..."

A lot. The first two words that spring to mind are simply a lot. Brilliant, Alucard. Stunning intelligence. So he lets his mind mull it all over for a few quiet moments, poking and prodding in all the ways that he would process other information.

But he can't treat this like an object or an artifact, this is life and death. Something that impacts everyone, and if there's one clear thing here, it is that so much is wrong with what Strange has said. Not for any reason than to die twice and come back is just wrong and...this is still necromancy, isn't it? Perhaps this is part of it.

"You were in between," he settles on finally. Which is as good as an understanding as being a ghost. Probably the same thing, just a slightly different interpretation.

Ellis is curling around Alucard far more than she'd ever do under normal circumstances. Her entire body is pressed against his back, feet and butt poking out at either of his sides. Comical under normal circumstances too.

"Whatever's responsible for the initial return must have extended their reach deep into that domain. Were you noticed by the figure?"

It is such an intimate detail to ask, especially when you dislike the person in question. But oh, ignorance? That's much worse.
