[So the voyage goes. Alucard shifts between his forms, playing with the dogs to help tire them out, and then sitting with Hector to advise him of things like how the castle requires very strong legs because of all the stairs. He speaks a little of his parent's current research, and soon enough, they reach their destination.
From ship to carriage, from carriage to walking on foots into the forests of Wallachia, where the castle waits for them both. Within it's walls, the castle moves high into the Carpathian mountains, and Hector is properly welcomed.
For people who have not hosted guests in...well, never as a couple dealing with a human, the whole affair is pointedly low on formalities. Lisa is the warmest thing a room, asking Hector after his work and his personal life (and petting the dogs), with Vlad just beaming. Alucard listens, and then?
Then the work begins. Alucard doesn't have a need to be hovering with his father and Hector, and his own pursuits turn inward towards architectural design. He sits in his own work spaces, drafting, stopping for meals or to hunt for food, or to greet Cesar when the little dog pokes his head in.
Working with Dracula demands a night schedule though, and it's only now, a week in, that Alucard has well and truly seen Hector go past his own rooms. At that, the dhampir sticks his head out, an arm full of pug.]
