[ He doesn't sleep so deeply, tonight. Stays awake for a long time, watching Alucard's face. Watching his breath move his hair about.
He's going to lose him. One way or another he's going to lose him during this. He'll live, he can make sure of that. But he can't see any way that he can come out of this as himself. It's long past dawn when he leans forward to kiss Alucard again and then finally, finally sleeps.
He doesn't speak much when they wake. Helps Alucard with the more intricate part of his robes and dresses himself in his formal clothes to see Dracula's departure. Waits until he's out of sight. And god, there's so much work to be done, but all of it feels so small and insignificant in comparison to the situation. ]
Come to the library with me? [ He finally says after a little while. There are other things he needs to attend to before long, but the business with the speaker is probably the most pressing. And it's something he can do at Alucard's side - he's well aware that Dracula said the castle would lead him to Dracula's lists of his enemies, not the two of them. ] I have something I need to test.
