[ It's harder, when Sypha is asleep. But she needs to sleep. She needs it so much. But when she's awake, she talks. She talks a lot. And he answers, and it's only mostly an overly performative way of confirming that both of them are still there. She's asleep now, though, with the aid of a medicine that Agatha learned from the speakers of the old country for dreamless slumber.
And that means finding something to do. Speaking with Sypha leaves him raw, bruised, in the last kind of place where he wants to be alone with his own thoughts.
Except most of the things that need to be done are already done. The room he used for his spells needs cleaning out more, but that'll leave him in no state to return to Sypha when she wakes. There's too many horrible things there that she can't be exposed to (the smell especially, not right now).
It's the gun that he means to give her that he works on, in the end. He's already taken it apart and cleaned every part of it twice, but a third time couldn't hurt. Just to be sure. Just to be safe. And he's putting it back together when Alucard returns. ]
The fuck would anyone need that much bread for? We expecting to fight off an army of ducks?
