[He kisses Trevor's forehead once before withdrawing. Trevor's loopiness and turn of phrases makes up for some of the nightmare of having him be like this, and when he withdraws in full, it is to rejoin his father at the mouth of the cave.
Except when he stands there, he is at the front door of a small cottage that sits alone in the mountains, looking over one of the great forests of Wallachia. There are quiet words exchanged, and then Dracula does as Alucard expected and inspects his son's wound for signs of magic.
They're there. Faint. Hard to catch without a trained eye, the kind of thing meant to mark a murderer. They are gone with a wave of Dracula's hand, but the seriousness is still there. In their low voices, they discuss how to destroy the other parts of Trevor that were used for spells (For your sake, not his Dracula insists), and that will be done tomorrow.
Dracula does not leave even then. He takes the shape of a large wolf, and dismisses his son for the night. Any guard duty can and will wait until morning.
When Alucard returns again, it's having utterly washed himself off, and he settles down where Trevor would have him.]
