Ah. [His smile stays, but certainly the hope that accompanied fades. Well, it is about what he expected. After all, he hardly knows anyone who has made two appearances in Abraxas. It appears the Singularity's pull remains as wild and fickle as ever.]
No matter.
[No matters of the heart that move on, anyway.]
Rental spots, you say? I wouldn't mind being able to see the Hall on the way to work, so to speak. [As if he has any intention of mostly working there himself... no, this is simply a venture for more capitalism. And also something to do with the plants he keeps growing from practice.] I would invite you to dress up the place once I obtain it, but we both know how that went last time.
[If nothing else, Jaskier made Hector a better person. That counts for a lot, but--
--maybe that's Jaskier's ultimate hidden talent. Making people better.]
And if we ever need flower based decorations for an event, well, we have a supplier that's mercifully close by. Although I think that work will be handed off to other committee members and Hilda - she seems to have the right talent for it.
[RUDE???]
I wouldn't dare. Beyond our inability to agree, it is exclusively your shop.
It is not the first heartbreak he's been through. It only feels like this one is different. Unfair. A heart taken from him by the whims of powerful things that have no influence on.]
And I may be in a good enough mood to offer you a discount. [Obviously, he will. It costs him very little to grow his plants; a fact he's quite thankful for. It has always been a blessing that between him, Ciri, and Geralt, they basically provide themselves -- and many family friends -- all the produce and meat they need to survive.
And he gets to offer silly little gifts, like vanilla beans that sprout faster than they ever should.
Jaskier laughs.] And you think I don't value your opinions, despite our differences? [Except he still does hate all the angles.] You know, if there's any Summoned who must take over the Hall's future events, I think you have picked the most suitable one.
Oh, well, I'll just make myself into a wolf and have sad eyes in your direction until that is the case.
[Alucard grins. He knows he is cuter in that form. Easier to win over, and it's always funny to watch people react. Besides, Jaskier wouldn't say no to most things needed for the Hall. He knows that.]
I think you enjoy exaggerating the differences for comedic effect. [Which: same.]
You and I both agree on that, but I think she'll try to shy away from it if offered outright. I can work on it, then focus my attention on the theaters in Libertas.
close up around here? we can pop something into the new event
[It absolutely will, and it does, every single time. Somehow, Jaskier is still making up for the fact he'd pissed in front of the wolf (and nearly on him) over a year ago.]
Well --
[He's not wrong.] She's oddly modest, is she not? It's no matter. If she wants to take over, then she'll have to step up. Even if we must offer it in a more circuitous way. [And if Jaskier is skilled at anything...] The theatres! A grand pursuit, my friend. And one I will be happy to help you with, in the future, should you need further meddling.

[Alucard's knows that his feelings about Hector will never be the same as Jaskier's. He can at least be kind about this.]
