[Alucard stays awake until he is sure that Sypha is asleep and comfortable against him, and even after that he is awake for a little longer. It is strange to have another in his room, less for any connotations of sharing a bed and more for the simple fact that he never has had anyone in this room outside of his immediate family.
She counts as immediately family, then. If not now, it won't be long until she does, and that is a very sobering thought indeed. It is what he focuses on until sleep claims him as well, all softness and warmth enveloping much like Sypha's arms.
He's awake first though, not from dreams but from the sheer need that arises in him to make sure that when Sypha stirs, she'll have a familiar face there. That cannot be the wolf, that can only be him as a man. So, careful as anything, his form changes again and Sypha's sleeping shape is drawn close to him. One hand is moved so it rests at his hip rather than brush against the scar, and in other times, he might have grabbed a book to pass the hours.
Alucard is more preoccupied at looking at the sleeping Speaker in his arms and enjoying the comfort that having her there means.]
