[ Alucard sees that attention focus on him at the display of magic. Good. While it would be fantastic to think he could draw an Antari' interest by sheer personality alone, he's not going to leave it up to chance.

I just handed you a drink, so I'm not trying to press you, but if you're not interested, I wouldn't want to make you look unavailable.
