Does anyone have a good crying face?

[Alucard is gratified enough to be given any kind of acknowledgement at all. But this is more than he expected, and perhaps that means something too.]

You're welcome. Hang it wherever you see fit. I know the craftsmanship isn't quite that of a master gardener like yourself.

[cointosser]

Well, I'm not sure if I've seen every one I can. Perhaps you'll have to show me yours at some point. In a good way!

[He feels that merits some clarification.]

Don't undersell yourself, Adrian. Your craftsmanship is exquisite, and the clear love you have for me (of hwich I have no doubt of) shines as bright as your hair.

[He's allowed to tease him. To lessen how much it means, obviously.]

[cryptsleeper]

I'm going to pretend you didn't say that AND that you did not have to clarify that statement.

--Hm, are you sure? My hair is very bright.

[cointosser]

No, you won't. You'll use it against me at some point in the near future, as usual.

Oh, don't flatter yourself too much, old friend. You know I'm here to keep you humble. And to acknowledge the truths of how much you adore me.

[cryptsleeper]

....yes, I will. How dare you correctly see my usual mode of operation.

When have I ever acted anything but humble, excluding the occasional boast about my hair?

[cointosser]

It's almost as if I know you.

If you're still humble after all you've accomplished, doesn't that mean I'm simply doing my job well?

[cryptsleeper]

You do. Better than anyone at this point.

...No, I think that's a natural thing for me. If anything, you feed my ego.

[cointosser]

All right, true. You're welcome.

[cryptsleeper]

And I hope I am enough of a killjoy to yours. So that we stay on a roughly even playing field.
