[Jaskier, you can't purchase your way out of depression!
Alucard fails to hide his visible relief at Jaskier actually digging into the food in front of him. He's not subtle on the best of days, and right now is not the best of days by a long shot. If it's just someone shoving food in front of the bard or what, the dhampir doesn't know and refuses to question. He just knows it works.]
Beyond poor. My setback wasn't helped by his awful delivery, although I admit I also did not ask the right questions. [And uh, okay, his issues slammed against Geralt's in the worst way at the time. Jaskier does not need that detail at all.
The dhampir perks just a little as Jaskier seems to get the point. He won't leap over it with mad excitement, but he will nod once. It isn't approval, just soft recognition that he's going down the right path.]

Precisely. Although...tragically?
