He doesn't always catch himself, but he knows that there are still some things that Alucard and Sypha don't like him to joke about. The alcohol, the taverns, the bar fights- he finds it hilarious how far he fell, more so now he isn't there anymore. Alucard and Sypha tend to disagree. ]

[ His response is immediate, emotional only in its warmth and entirely focused upon the practical. Between them and with proper preparation, he and Sypha can buy Alucard as much time as he wants. Sypha with that hail spell fuelled by holy water, him to drive off anything that survives it. They can do that.
And a practical response is all he gets. There's a twitch of his fingers. A long held breath. Nothing more. It's not the first time that the threat of losing his new family the way he lost his first one has come up, but it is the first time that it has come so very close. ]
