"A levitation spell could take care of moving the object or objects," Alucard counters grimly. "I'd like for your second thought to be true, but there are too many bars in the world and we are finite creatures." Well. In theory. Whatever horrible spell is involved in reanimation does seem to have some stronger opinions on that.

"If there was to be any luck at all in tracking things down, the black and grey markets would be the more appropriate venues. Those contacts I had are all gone." They were too short lived is what he really means. None with long enough lifespans for him to lean on (and for them not to blink at his appearance. Being a dhampir has some advantages these days.)

That...feels like a compliment. Enough to blindside Alucard and have him pick his head up from the actual work he is doing.

"Something in there deserves a thank you, I suspect."

Of course if Strange thinks he's an ass, well. Alucard's going to make sure to introduce him to Trevor some day soon.
