[Who knew that the word ombre would be the thing to shift things in just the right way? Not Alucard. But he will take the bard's renewed enthusiasm for doing something as a win in this situation. It took the dhampir himself far longer to reach the same point.
He's in the same place every day when Jaskier arrives at the graveyard, regardless of the time. A white wolf lurking behind the third stone to the left, and eventually a person when Jaskier picks the area he wishes to work on. He lingers for a time, then departs to attend to his own work that remains. He wanders back, talks for a time, then returns to work.
There's a near week of absence, when Geralt asks for Alucard's help on a hunt. Running about in the desert is too deep a temptation, and Alucard makes use of the messaging network to share with Jaskier where he is going and Could you keep an eye on things in my absence, please? I'll owe you another hat for the trouble.
Today is his first day back from the desert. Alucard walks into the graveyard in his human shape, the small pack he carried with him dangling off his left shoulder. His eyes glance around, taking in the week's changes.]
