Day 27: Lunch

[norainu]

Renji wasn't so certain what this grilled cheese thing was all about, but he liked the sound of some soup. Even if it was strange western soup, well... there wasn't anything bad people could do to soup, in his experience. His good mood was starting to fray at the edges, a little, from the strain of dealing with the Ichimaru issue, and even more from what had been on the bulletin board earlier.

He'd never had difficulty simply writing something before. But...

He shook his head as he entered the line. He didn't want to think about it. He wanted to hold on to the tenuous equilibrium he'd managed to find.

Renji got himself a large bowl of soup, water, and even one of those sandwiches, just to try it. Old habit, recently awakened, had him over to one side of the cafeteria, where the fewest people possible would have the chance to pass behind him. He sat there with his back toward the wall and started eating.

Straw Hat Boy's reaction was...refreshing for the lack of words. He was so lively, compared to a good three quarters of the population. Fai was the only exception so far, or at least for those he had spoken to in person. "London, England," Alucard replied carelessly, assuming that the boy would know what he was talking about.

"And I won't. I fed just last night..." the vampire trailed off, watching as nurses descended on others to lead them away. Introductions had yet to be made. Alucard was certain the boy had a name.

"What's your name, by the way?"

"London, England," Luffy echoed, and he scratched his cheek for a second, clearly thinking. "Nope, don't think I've ever heard of it. Are there other vampires there, too?" Maybe he'd come across it during his journey once he got out of here. He'd have to find out if there was such a place en route to Raftel. Maybe Nami or Robin would know!

"Oh, well, I'm glad you're not hungry anymore, then," he said. He knew how miserable it felt to be starving for something good to eat. It seemed like he was always wanting food, which was probably why Luffy figured he'd make a pretty lousy vampire.

"Me?" Grinning, the pirate jerked a thumb into his chest. "I'm Luffy. Nice to meet you! And who're you?"

Never heard of Great Britain? Strange. It was quite impossible for someone to be ignorant of the white man, but Alucard chalked it up to said ignorance nonetheless.

Either that or Straw Hat Boy came from a different 'world' altogether, and the vampire was more sure of the latter choice. "There are, and it's my job to dispose of the ones who decide to cause trouble," he replied, his tone gaining a wicked edge. Which, was promptly dropped as the boy -Luffy- decided to introduce himself first.

"My name is Alucard," he spoke languidly, even as he did a quick glance-over of the room to see if any nurses were approaching their table.
