Jaskier moves out of the way, watching Alucard suffer a rather empty pantry and icebox with a sort of energy that reminds him of a cat deciding to chase a mouse. He smiles to himself. Alucard, he thinks, is not far off. If Geralt were not hardened by trauma and by the Continent itself, if the wolves had been free to be men and not monster-hunting killers, then --

Oh, Melitele's sake, he'd never thought of such things as politics.] What on earth gave you that idea? I became a bard for fame and glory. Escaping the confines of family matters, and becoming bounds better than all of my pupils from university, were both simply bonuses.
