[ He doesn't know what to do when the humans are asleep. Until now he's been reading, Sypha gets frustrated that he knows so little about humanity when he's trying to make decisions for them. But he doesn't like reading. It was nice at first, but then the books kept being about upsetting things.
He tries, for a while, but then he finds himself putting the book back and hovering over the humans instead. Sypha hates it when he does that. She doesn't like the idea of a vampire watching her sleep.
But if he didn't watch, he wouldn't notice things. Notice how still Alucard is, compared to Sypha. Notice when that stillness is broken by tiny shivers, so small that he wouldn't have picked up on them before his senses were sharpened by the blood.
He knows enough to be aware that it's improper to curl up against a person while they're asleep when he's human-shaped. But dog shaped? That seems normal. A moment's consideration and he's a wolf with dark, shaggy fur, trying to find room to curl up on the Sofa next to Alucard, burying his way between his arms. ]
