[ Right. The poison. He- forgot somehow. Because trying to offer comfort was more important. He stands, and it takes far too much effort as if all the strength has left his body. It's only the absence of pain that keeps him from worrying about whether he has poisoned himself. When he returns, it's with a warm, soapy washcloth, a towel, and the bottle of rosewater. Because Alucard gets weird about his blood. If he's going to be coughing it up, it's best to be prepared for it.
The fish is probably going to go bad, isn't it? The garage is cooler than most places are, but it's still not a good temperature for keeping fish good. But then, Alucard's in no state to cook it. He'll just make sure to move it from the car later, before it smells too bad.
(that's a stupid thought. there's a city on the verge of war and all he can think about is trying to make it less inconvenient for two people.) ]
Clean up. May as well get the blood off your chin while you're at it. She's going to get mad with me if she comes home to you looking like I busted your lip.
[ It's a joke, if a weak and terrible one. As if the main concern here is Sypha misunderstanding the situation and being angry, rather than her understanding it perfectly. ]
