[Alucard can see the shift in the bard. It is miniscule, but it is there and Alucard makes a quiet note to keep asking for stories when Jaskier seems especially low. The careful balance of not asking versus asking will need to be recalibrated as appropriate, but it can be done.]

Roses sound like a worthy project. Perhaps in an ombre?

[An addition to a challenge, just to keep him even more occupied. Alucard knows that it may fail, but he is absolutely trying here and it seems this is the best path forward. With that done, he makes quick work of what remains on his own plate, then adds his own coin to Jaskier's pile.]

It gets busier with the sunset. A good place to be alone in a crowd. [His preference if he must be with other people.]

I've nothing but time, and today, it is yours.
