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.]
