[ He's grown more comfortable to be around since the first talk, where Sypha has asked him not to be awful. Sadly he's resumed being awful from time to time but since coming out of the casts and starting attending church and meeting the local hunter groups, he's at least softened a little. The best indication of this is his willingness to generally exist in the castle proper rather than camping out in the room he was granted. The other indication is that he's started following something of a schedule.
Sunday is church and he attends early morning service. He walks to the road and takes public transport rather than troubling his hosts for a ride, partly out of not wanting to owe them, mostly because the two of them are rarely awake in time after a Saturday night. Late morning service is afterwards, with a half hour between them, and that time is for helping Agatha set things up for the sunday school children while Florence complains about the misadventures and posturing of the younger vampires in a neighboring district and the hunters there that refuse to keep them under control. There is an hour and a half of quiet knitting in the next room while Agatha teaches her class, and then another half hour of talk of strategy.
He comes home just after noon and takes a seat in the chair furthest from the sofa that his hosts like to use. Sypha's radio play begins at one, and she looks forward to it all week, enough to be in here and staring at the thing expectantly almost a full hour in advance. It's been the same for three weeks in a row now, every Sunday going the same way, with the difference today being Alucard's absence.
He takes his seat as usual, and the quiet sound of knitting needles clicking against each other begins. ]
