[A week is not ideal. Embarrassing, almost childish that he was that out of it for so long. But maybe it's better that way, having been left alone, allowing his body to heal for as long as it needed. There's n underlying sense of shame though, which is more than how he feels about so many other parts of last week's actions.
There's disappointment that his father doesn't linger longer, but the reason why is obvious. This fragile peace isn't worth breaking yet, but temptation is strong. It's self control, and that in and of itself is a strength that is foreign to his father in so many ways.
There's no relief in his father's departure, and Alucard the only part of him that moves at all is the one hand that was at his father's back. It's on the cushions now, resting on the other side of his mother.]
Have you managed restful sleep at all?
[Not how bad has the fighting been, he already has that answer.]
