There is a moment - just a moment - when Alfred's words tumble out in a sharp shout, and a pulse radiates through the room. The candles and fire flicker, dampen before returning to normal...the picture frames rattle, the air buzzing for a moment. Maybe that's what makes Alfred recoil, gasp, or maybe it's the shout itself...whatever it is, he immediately shrinks down again, tone fluttering.
"I - I'm sorry- I'm sorry, Georg, I-"
Even with his back turned, the sound of Alfred starting to cry is unmistakable, his hands shaking where they are rested on the older vampire. "...I just...there's so much in you, and I can feel it, I can see it, but...but you...."
He wraps his arms around Georg, embracing him, sobbing into the back of his shirt.
