Your father chose his apprentice for his open mind, not for his ability to keep his fucking desk in order.
[ Which is to say, a wide range of things in no particular order. ]
Most of it is Rinaldo's notes on your father's work. Maybe not new information, but I figured it might help to have another point of view.
[ 'Another point of view' here meaning 'you can look at this through the work of someone who you're not quite so emotionally connected with. ]
The shit at the top is his own work on the Morning Star. He used Mathias' work on the stone to complete it. Might be useful. If not, I'd still like to bring it to the hold.
If there is one thing I appreciate about your family, for all of it's questionable understanding of medicine, it is your record keeping.
[You all infuriate him on that topic.
He moves the notebook aside, replacing it for the new papers. Skimming the first page becomes turning it over, and then sighing because Trevor was not kidding. There is no order here, and Alucard does not know this man. The logic is not apparent as it was in his father's work.]
We'll retain all of this for the Hold. [He pauses, turning another page.] I'll have it bound, so that we aren't chasing after loose sheets of paper as well. I'll see what I can sift out that's only on the Morning Star, there could be useful information for my own thoughts as well.
[ He manages to restrain himself from pointing out that corpses are inanimate objects. Be proud. ]
That- probably sounded less weird in your head, didn't it? [ Because it means a lot to him. It really, truly does. But it still sounds weird when said aloud. When he speaks again it's less joking, more sincere, and he puts a hand on Alucard's arm. ]

[ To be fair, he did have a point with that one. ]
So you think- your father accidentally made a cure for turning?

[HE'S STILL ANGRY ABOUT IT.]
No, not truly. But I think he laid the foundations, and if I can do nothing else, I can ensure no one else in your family becomes an inanimate object.

Thank you.

It's weird on principle, I feel.
[The hand on Alucard's arm soon has another one resting atop it. Squeezing for just a moment.]
What else can I do when the work presents itself?
