When the first paragraph does not take up the entire height of the drop-cap, there are a few ways to allow the second paragraph to be correctly aligned.

Use the \setupinitial command with the continue option to indicate that the drop-cap (lettrine) is to be protected (i.e., no text may overlap the lettrine):

• \setupinitial[n=2,continue=yes]
  
  \setuphead[chapter][
    after={\placeinitial},
    page=no,
  ]
  
  \starttext
  \chapter{one}

  \stoptext

Another way to indicate the end of the drop-cap is to use the \forgetinitial command, as follows:

• \enableexperiments[autoforgetinitials]
  \setupinitial[n=2, style=\tfd, location=text]
  \setuphead[chapter][after={\placeinitial}]
  
  \starttext
  \chapter
  
  Short paragraph \par
  
  \forgetinitial \input tufte
  
  \stoptext
