There were about ten other things you were also attending to at the time.
[Which was all to say don't worry about it, and in the end, there were worse problems than a suspect cart. There had been no issue with the spell and Alucard had arrived whole. All their equipment was with them. The first trial would be getting to the estate, the second would be entering it. All other things were footnotes.
That night, it is Alucard who falls asleep first, his face pressed to Sypha's side as the three pass the time. This is normal too, Sypha's stories filling the air until the rough concept of bedtime and now watch begins trickling into their heads. The spring nights still have a chill to them, and there is fortune that the sky is clear for the night.
[ Sypha falls asleep mid sentence, just like she always does, curled tightly around Alucard with a thick blanket wrapped around them, mumbling the last few words into his hair before falling silent. It's okay, she's told that story before. He already knows how it goes. And he begins his watch.
He watches the two of them, mostly. Chests rising and falling in the pale light. Sypha's short, curly hair moving softly with each of Alucard's breaths. He does actually attempt to wake her after the first four hours but when her response is to make half-awake complaints about the cold and bury herself further into Alucard's arms, he just throws another blanket over the two of them and lets them sleep. ]

Full moon. Good for watching.]
