[There hadn't been particular notification that the two were coming back to the castle. Had there been, Alucard would have at least been able to eck out a spot for the two in all the glass and rubble and millions of repairs that needed to be done. The list was so long, and that didn't even include the Hold. (He hadn't even touched the Hold. He could float and getting in and out of it was still a pain.) He had barely enough food to feed three. In truth their coming back was a real surprise. (Sypha probably figured that one out in two seconds.)
So that tree it had been, and there had been half a dozen awkward parts that went with it. The same strangeness in the next morning, and a few days in, until Sypha made a simple decision and that was that. Alucard had managed to find at least a small set of rooms that were undamaged and not terribly deep into the castle's depths (the other two would get so lost so fast). And that had been that for a brief time.
It was a weird shape. He didn't dislike it, it felt nice when his brain turned off and he just enjoyed the weight of Sypha either curled up in his arms or trying to tug him close. He didn't really sleep, so he focused on her warmth instead. And on trying not to brush up against Trevor too much, because there were far too many questions. They couldn't demand Sypha mediate everything.
For that reason, her absence is keenly felt. The bed is weird, Alucard has his own he could just use instead, but he isn't because that'd be weird too. So he lays there in silence, his face turned towards the door. Expecting nothing.]
Anything I want to do at the moment would be extremely loud and wake you.

[Repairs are loud and the castle does echo.]
Go to sleep.
