[Alucard has to stare for a moment, because the man he just watched murder his own kin is talking to the castle like this. To call it a contrast would be a great and horrible understatement, and the castle itself is very quick to separate the two now.
Leon is indeed lead down the spire, along corridor after corridor (all have windows), and to the entrance where the doors are already open and ready to kick him out. Dracula isn't sleeping, not until Leon is gone, and there's a thick air of tension along Leon's path.
For his own part, Alucard brings the water into Sypha's room, then collapses onto the floor in his wolf form. That was a conversation he never wanted to have ever, and he doesn't want to be near the man again. The two extremes are worse than his father's, frankly. (They aren't. He's just grown up with precious little illusion about what his father is, and his mother has always been present to temper it all.)
Easiest to be a wolf right now. Better to pick the floor, as to not be untowards to Sypha who will doubtlessly have too much to deal with emotionally when she wakes.]
