Alucard's deadly still as Sypha's arms go around his middle. The first is for a practical reason - he doesn't want to aggravate the wound slashed across his chest. The second is every last hug he has received lately has been because of what's happened. This feels slightly different, but not different enough.
Third, and worst of it, the last one to touch him period was his father. The results of that are clear.
So he's afraid at first, which is the stupidest reaction he could ever have to something like this. He doesn't relax much more after those fears pass, he seems more at peace. Then Sypha isn't there at all, and it feels strange. She burns much warmer than most humans.]
