[It has been a very long summer. Blessedly long. Quiet. Alucard has spent enough time in the garden that it has flourished. He's found his mother's notes on canning (because of course the future meant sterilization and thus canning), and there are at least enough preserved fruits to last them to January. Other things have been pickled, others salted, and he has been hunting with the local pack lately to get enough meat to cure for the winter.
Just apples today, foraged from one of the last trees in the woods. He makes his way back through the garden, stopping to check on the bees before he heads back into the castle itself. Just apple and honey cake today, the fire is burning brighter in the kitchen and that means just enough heat for it. He has everything ready, but the cake's best eaten warm. He'll start it at supper time.
He's done, and that means finding Trevor. Trevor who is not in the usual haunts, which take Alucard half an hour to check even using vampire speed. He catches a scent eventually though, and...the study?
It has gone unused lately. There's no strategy to tend to, and even checking in on Hector has lessened of late. The only reason Alucard comes in is to refresh the flowers beneath his mother's portait.
So he actually knocks to announce his presence and stands at the threshold rather than walk in.]
