[He finishes cleaning up the lab first, and Alucard is so relieved that his taking wolf form won't be a surprise.
Eventually he's woken up. Goes through the work of showering and putting on his office hours clothes, which means a suit and tie, and then it's only a matter of waiting. Waiting for the sun to go down, allowing them both precious time to settle into their usual office roles.
It works like this: there's an actual desk. There's a chair to the right of the desk for Trevor, and then there's two chairs opposite them. There's the sitting room on the other side of the townhouse's first floor for casual discussions as well, but things always must start in the office. Everything is formal. Calm. Controlled. Administrative rather than court-like, because Alucard is still regent. This is just waiting for his father to return.
Tonight, only five minutes after sundown, the doorbell rings. Alucard always answers the door, but Trevor goes with him for security's sake. (Now, more than ever, the threat of assassination is high.) To see Carmilla there, face contorted in barely controlled fury, that in and of itself is terrifying.
Then she comes in and demands to know why she had her blood call to blood in the city, as if she was siring a new vampire, and Alucard wants to scream.]
