[Nadine inclines her head in greeting, offering a smile as she looks over his stall. It's a clever idea, really, to make some money. God, she's going to have to figure out a job before too much longer.
Those thoughts quickly flee her mind when Jaskier extends a white rose to her. There's a little lurch in her heart, a sudden sense of weakness. It's unbidden, the gesture calling forth a memory so strong it almost overwhelms her. Flagg, on their wedding night, the white rose from his breast pocket held out to her. The path of petals, all of them white...
She realizes she's standing there staring like an idiot, missing most of the rest of what Jaskier says. It had just hit her so suddenly, and with it come the tumultuous mix of feelings her husband always brings.
Below that is simply the slight awe that he somehow knew her favorite flower.]
Uh...thank you. White roses are my favorite.
[A pathetic response, she knows, but what else can she say? At least she caught the last of his words.]
Don't remind me. I spent pretty much everything I had. We all did.
