Agreed. The dead should stay dead. They travel fast when they do not.

[It is a terrible joke about vampires and their nature, but the Seller has no reason to know that. Alucard's heritage may be half undead, but he's had enough necromancy in his lifetime to think that there's ever a good reason to disturb the dead from their rest.

There are no benches here, and Alucard is in no position to offer a seat. All he can do is consider getting the sponge, and then coming back to do the work.]

I'm unsure of what the roads are like at the moment. There are places far beyond this city that I'd like to see before well and truly finding a place to settle, but uneasy borders make for difficult traveling. [To get to the land where supposedly all manner of night things roam, there is a need to cross the feywilds. Alucard does not know how possible any of that may be.]

If you don't mind waiting a few minutes, I can check my supply cache for the sponge.
