[ The circles grow outward until there’s no back left, then inward again. With his tree hand, he pulls the blanket back up around Alucard’s shoulders. Keeps that arm there, draped over him. Alucard’s right. He’s doing so, so well tonight already. More might be tempting fate. ]
[ God, that noise. It's one of the stupid little details he finds himself coming back to over and over. Like the way Sypha wiggles her toes when she's excited about something, or the soft little sighs Alucard makes when she helps him dry his hair. Like the soft muffled happy sounds she makes when eating food she likes, or the feeling of Alucard's hand hovering near his shoulder just before it touches. He swallows down a lump in his throat, tilting his head upward a little. ]
