[They probably aren't just cats. No animals come near the House when it is opened and none dare near it until a few hours after it has been closed. It is much safer to assume that they are vampire or familiars, and for that there's too much of a charade of getting into the car. It helps that they can all manipulate appearances now, but that chafes at the vampire too.
He's never voiced that. No point, not when there are a hundred other priorities and this is the opposite of one. Just another stupid, tiny, annoying, shitty part of the regency that they have to endure. Making being lead into the car look like anything but leaning on the other two for support is something of an art, and once safe in the back seat, Alucard all but deflates.
The vampire's head is in Sypha's lap within moments. They've justified it with their charade of overeager affection, but honestly it's because sitting up at all is beyond Alucard to manage right now. There are warm hands immediately in his hair, and one of the blankets comes to rest over him through simple magic.]
Is there any sign the next round of investigations might take two or three days instead of only one?
