"You're welcome," Strange responds, with a wry little smile. He lets the silence sit for a moment as he continues to work: there's a few details to this rune that he wants to copy down perfectly right.

When Alucard speaks again, he perks up and looks over at the dhampir. Earlier studies made of the bones? Well, that's something he was interested in as well, it would be easy to fill him in on what had happened. Strange nods. "That should be simple enough. I'll make certain to keep you in the loop."

He pauses a moment before continuing. "Likewise, if you find anything of note in any black market contacts, I'd like to know as well. We can cover more ground together than separately."
