[The sarcasm comment gets a very thin, wry smile. This is not the correct thread (pun intended) to pull right now. There will be time aplenty for the jokes, as well as the correction that he is from the 1700s, thank you, whenever the Victorians are, the dhampir predates them.

So he instead focuses on the task at hand. Once the mask is offered, Alucard does indeed give it a good pull. The blood doesn't matter. The holes do.]


This is definitely not natural fiber, that much is clear.

[His next step is to turn the mask inside out, taking careful note of where there are seams and how the garment actually works.]

Mm. So.

[He finally looks up at Wade, wholly unphased with his face. He's seen way worse, even on humans.]

If you're intent on repairs, the first step will be to wash the garments no matter what. You can't combine clean fabric with battleworn when mending to this extent. It could lead to imprecise repairs, and from everything I can gather, you'd not prefer that. The next step will be fabric matching, and that's where my concern lies. There may not be an exact twin of this material around this place. Is this something you need to be a perfect 1:1 match with, or is there flexibility?

[Alucard's tone is entirely practical. If he's going to be a tailor, then he can play at speaking to a client.]
