[Leon has made it into one of the spires, in truth. It means that to return to the doors, it is a very long walk indeed. But in returning to the doors, there is one kindness the castle does make an effort for: there are windows all along this route.
The other kindness is not calculated. Alucard crosses Leon's path by true fortune, the vampire carrying a carafe of water meant for Sypha's room and knowing it will be needed.
He stops when he sees Leon. Tenses entirely, because he does not know how to read the man's mood (his father is clearly exhausted, it shows in the castle) and because he absolutely just saw Leon take a sword to his own grandson.]
