This time Jaskier is not quick enough to catch Alucard leaving his gifts -- and honestly, possibly better for the both of them he does not. At first, he's not even sure what he's looking at. And then Mog comes running, winding between his legs, chirping as he sniffs the air.
Someone has already gotten over their bout of hiding post-scratch. And really, Jaskier didn't have the heart to keep ignoring him as punishment. (Look how fucking cute he is.)
As he peels through everything, it's quite clear that Alucard took Jaskier's insult at his message quite seriously. Honestly, this is a feast. How long had it taken him to put all this together?
Jaskier nearly feels bad about it. Almost. Almost.
But he does want his friend to know (they are still friends, yes) his apology was warmly received. So Jaskier visits the cactus at a time when it is still and empty, a note placed just inside that thanks him, sincerely, and gives a review of the food (all of it was delicious.)
On top of the note is a bundle tied up neatly of fresh thyme and rosemary (for his next meal), a few gifts from Mog himself (raven-black feathers still immaculate), and, as a big surprise, a couple of carefully dried vanilla beans, results of Jaskier's experimentations based on a conversation they'd had months back.

Yes, they're still definitely friends.]
