[The little saddle is darling, but it gives Alucard another idea. He retreats into the bedroom and gathers up two of the blankets he slept under the previous evening. They're quickly folded so they too can be packed, as Alucard knows that if they don't need them for cool nights of sea travel, then they're good items to barter with.
He walks out in time to see Cesar now in his little doggy backpack, and for the first time there is a real smile on his face. Small, yes, but it is equal parts delighted and endeared to the scene in front of him. Alucard lets out a soft laugh, and then brushes past the two in order to get to his own bag.]
Very well. Let us begin.
[Begin means get a boat to a more major port, and from that port gain access to another ship that will go so far as Istanbul. Alucard knows that sea travel is risky, but once in Istanbul oh, there are options aplenty.
He has money, which buys them their own little bit of space on a ship that's a healthy mix of passengers and cargo. The room is claustrophobic, but there's two hammocks and the illusion of privacy, so what else is there to fuss with?
They have five days to port. Days Alucard spends on deck watching the ocean go by, and nights showering both dogs with affection if Hector isn't. Like now, with the pug content on his lap.]
((Figured that this would be a good jump to smoochin point.))
