That's...apt. I think you're starting to gain Sypha's way with words. [Her influence is far more obvious on Trevor, in truth. Perhaps that's because she got him to behave first, wheras with Alucard it took much longer.] If we can use this horrible thing and place as a symbol of continuity, then we are so much the better.

[Then Trevor's speaking of food, and Alucard hisses at himself.]

I'll make something to hold us all over for the next few days. I'm going to be too busy, and we both know Sypha can't be trusted in the kitchen.

[It's a stupid little detail. But cooking means humanity in all the important ways, and it's the last kindness he will be able to do for the week. That is important.]
