[Being a teenager around his father had been weird. It had taken to talking about architecture, of all things, to help transition them from the awkwardness of no longer just being a young boy who found delight in the world and wanted to learn more without having strong opinions of his own. Asking about the castle, how it worked, could I build something like it?, that had fixed so many tensions in the house.
It is now the right thought to dwell on in this moment. Not when Sypha is at the perfect angle for Alucard to kiss her again. They've cycled through what feels like every emotion in the space of oh...maybe half an hour? So now it is on them to define what the normal pace ought to be right now. The question is laced in the kiss itself, the pressure firm but not aggressive, patient and waiting for Sypha to decide if tongues are allowed to enter the equation.]
