[There's actual gratitude there. Alucard had expected Cesar to be brought inside when Hector went to bed, as there's no doubt that the dog is precious to him. Probably the only thing he likes, if Alucard was to guess.]
The bandages will need to be changed before the sun sets again. They'll become saturated with the ointment if they stay on too long, and I don't want that to create it's own problems.
[It's...it isn't concern exactly, but Alucard is the son of not only Dracula, but of his mother too. He had seen her work as a doctor growing up, and absorbed more than his fair share of the information. Hector's probably right, he's an asshole, but Alucard knows his mother would disapprove of just letting an injury go unchecked.]
We're on the same boat, literally and metaphorically, Hector. And you risked everything for my sake, for some reason. I don't intend to be an asshole and disrespect that. Managing to live with each other is the goal right now, and that means at least trying to be pleasant and aware of hierarchies at play.
[Alucard shakes his head. Why is his bothering?]
If you'd rather I take my leave, then I will do so.
