Alucard's horse is gone from the stable when he returns in the small hours of the morning, and the castle is silent. It's the first time since the start of the celebrations that it has been peaceful here, and that's- well. It's something. Better than the alternative, at least for now, though god knows if he'll still think that when this becomes the way things are every day and the quiet starts to set in.
It's a few hours of spinning thread - that had been Lisa's idea, before she was taken away, that he should do work with his hands to keep himself occupied when things were bothering him - before the castle announces the return of the hunting party. He goes first to Alucard's chambers to draw a bath for him and then makes himself scarce in his own room. Alucard will know where to find him, when he's done. ]
