[Well, the one big, nasty setback that resulted in that cactus among so many other things, but the point still holds. Alucard pauses, considering how much further to push. He knows that he never likes it when there is demand, just as he grates against too much emotional plying of prodding. It may be true that Jaskier has been the most consistent presence in his life for months now, but that comes with an undue emotional burden that may very well break whatever has been carefully reassembled.
So Alucard doesn't wander down that path. He keeps his eyes on the swallow instead, watching it pass a sour face as another order of food that isn't theirs passes by.]
