Oh. Fuzzy medicine. [ Expressions aren't happening right now, not to any real degree. His eyebrows move only slightly, trying to knot into a thoughtful frown that doesn't happen. ] You didn't use the dog as medicine, did you?

No, no. You wouldn't do that. [ A long pause follows, and for a while it looks like he's fallen asleep again save for that his eyes are still open, still trying to focus on Alucard. It's hard to make them look at what he wants them to look at, everything seems so bright. The medicine isn't doing a whole lot for his normal over-sensitivity to light. ]

If I take the fuzzy medicine, and I stay here and get better. Can I kiss you then? [ Another pause, shorter this time. ] Or her. And her? [ And. Yes, good. And. ] And her.
