Prudence shrugs. "I never said which parties." She took a sip of her tea to stop her from giggling and continued. The lady doth protest too much, she thinks."I was merely thinking that certain undead noblemen might be on their very best behavior if they're acting as escorts to those they would obviously rather escort." She puts her cup down and stretches slightly before continuing. "I mean, let's face facts: Allastor's almost certainly not well-read enough to get it, but you know, and I know, and the Count certainly knows what he's really saying when he implies he'd like a taste of your blood. ...Rather forward about it, too, isn't he?"

Lips sill set in a thin, grim line. "I'd prefer to ignore those comments from him. Besides, I'd rather he not think I'd trying to pay him any of that sort of attention..." She runs a hand through her hair. "Although, I suppose this boils down to which one of them is more well-behaved..."

Prudence shrugs a bit. "We could just do away with this whole 'pairing' nonsense and go as a strange foursome. As long as we're defying expectations, why not? Then no one has to take official Allastor duty; we could take turns." She tries to suppress a giggle and fails.

"I want that boy kept away from alcohol. I've heard he enjoys it a bit too much..." She grins at the 'strange-foursome bit. "Perhaps we can con Al'card into turning female for a tick and tramatizing him..."

Prudence nods in agreement. "We can tell him he's the designated driver for the evening. Even though we're not going to be driving anywhere. And even though I already know I won't be drinking." At the mention of Alucard as a woman, Prudence gapes in shock. "He can do that?! You know, if someone had told me that being a vampire cane with so many benefits and that virginity was a requirement...well, that'd just be another drop in the crazy bucket, wouldn't it?" She laughs at herself good-naturedly.

Integral smirks. "Thinking of a sex-change, old friend?" She shakes her head. "Please stay female. I could handle you as a giant cockroach, but as a man, I'm afraid you would scare me much more."

Prudence laughs. "It would be more useful sometimes, I think. Like when pitching my work. Of course, I could just use my first and middle initials like so many other female writers, but why not take the road less traveled?" She stopped to laugh at the idea before continuing. "Not to mention all the other sorts of shape-shifting that would entail. Maybe I really could be a cockroach sometimes." Her mind revisted the idea of a gender-swapped Alucard. Suddenly the only image in her mind was an unchanged Count wearing a miniskirt instead of his usual pants. Suddenly Prudence felt the need to scrub her brain.

Integral chuckles, "Just don't let him catch you picturing him in a dress. I'm afraid it'd be too much for him..." Inspecting the bottom of her teacup, she looks up at Prudence. "Right, Shopping then? Let me just run up and change clothes, hm?"

Prudence nods vaguely, face contorted in horror. "That's all I can think of now. It won't get out of my head," she whimpers, squeezing her head between her palms and staring straight down. "This is what's waiting for me in Room 101 when 1984 comes around, isn't it? The former Voivode of Wallachia in a leather miniskirt."

shaking her head, and disappearing inside the house, Integral slips upstairs and changes into a less-formal suit, black with pale green pinstripes. For a moment she contemplates wearing a hat, but decides against, for fear of looking like the mob-boss she really is.
