[ Alucard has, unfortunately, begun to become accustomed to waking up early thanks to his time serving on the Royal Fortune when he isn't hungover. Granted, this does not mean he is always awake even if he is upright. When Xenk knocks, he rouses from his desk chair, having nodded off in the midst of reviewing one of the books he'd borrowed from Elah.
Even before that voice booms in, he knows who it is. Alucard has made plenty of friends on board now, but none are so bold as to visit him at his cabin without an invitation as Xenk. Truth be told, he loves the pestering. ]
You are address my unconscious, sleepwalking body...
[ He replies, and without rising, unlocks the door with a flick of his wrist. Actually opening it takes a little bit more finesse, but intricacy is Alucard's specialty, so the door creaks inward before Xenk. Inside is the warm glow of a candle that illuminates the desk. Esa coils inside of the shelving immediately across from the door, more a purple set of eyes than anything thanks to the deep shadows provided by the morning and the bare light.
Alucard sits sidelong in his seat, leaning across the back. He's in uniform, everything except his boots and his coat. ]
Oh. I thought you might have brought coffee, but what's this...?
[ Not that Alucard ever tends to get surly at Xenk, but he's definitely less whiny friendlier when a bribe comes, yes. ]
