[They have time now. They have all the time in the world, and they can indulge in it. They can do things like walk through the city streets arm-in-arm and not worry that tomorrow shall see them parted. They have the world, and they have moved beyond just the townhouse. Alucard is still sensitive about being home in the castle for more than a few days at a time, but the sense of not shuffling Sypha around from place to place is helping with that too.
He's still healing, of course. There hasn't been blood on his stitches for weeks now, but the bandages are still needed thanks to red and raw flesh that is taking it's sweet time in knitting itself back together. Alucard's accepted the rate of the recovery and it means moving slower through the world with Sypha's hands in his. There are worse things.
The city's view of the Mississippi is as an ideal place as any to sit next to her and call it a date. (He didn't bring the whole cliche of basket and blanket and food, chilling it for once in his life. There's sandwiches bought from one of the best places in the city, and Alucard has had a coat on for the past several hours just so he could put it down and have them both sit on it.
It's quiet in this park right now. Dusk will settle soon, and so many people will come out for the evening. Right now, right now is for them.]
I'm curious. How much of America have you seen at this point?
