[Of course he is. No man will come to Cadens and steal any bit of spotlight from him. Even if he is... al right, it cannot be understated how good-looking Grimoire is. The elven ears really add to the image.
At least he seems to be free of the trifles the elves of the Continent still suffer under.]
I think you're undermining your point specifically by pointing that out, my friend.
You do know my name means, quite literally, "buttercup," do you not?
[If there is one thing Jaskier has not spent enough time on, it's how they all understand and speak the same language, except where he is not doing so intentionally -- as when he spoke to Yennefer in Elder.
However, that is easily enough explained with "Singularity goobledigook."
Oh, really? You know, I might take you up on that. How is that going so far? I assume Hilda is doing a very good job.
Good! Honestly, I'm quite glad to hear it. I don't know her extremely well, but I had a feeling she... she could manage responsibility. If it was forced upon her.
My dear, I do not lurk. I will, however, be testing the drinks. To make sure they are of a quality that reflects well upon us. Possibly while observing the activities around me. [Yes, he knows perfectly well the drinks have nothing to do with the children. But a bar is a bar.]
No, you have not. And clearly it never translated, but that's neither here nor there.
She's getting better about responsibility, and remains an excellent delegator which is why I had asked her in the first place. Honetly, her team helps too.
Of course. Any particular drinks you'd like to test?
Honestly, I find that a bit of a relief. I did enjoy our project, but I don't know if either of us have the commitment to run that sort of place permanently.
[They have other things to do. Projects to find. And they still need to find their next... if he's waiting to summon Vimorskas.]
Oh, now you're opening quite the can of worms. You know what we need? A good honey mead. A very good one. Surely we can find one around here.
Undoubtedly. [One could argue they did not really have a plan once the restoration was completed, which is... true. The plan was to restore it, which Alucard did, and Jaskier assisted with money and manpower. Honestly, Cadens owes them a great debt if you ask him.
Luckily, he did not participate for payment.]
Yes! Oh, you do understand me where it matters most. That's why I adore you. Oh, and it'll be a wonderful opportunity to show you my new pierogi, ah... spell.

Quite contrary, I think it bolsters the argument. Silly name recognizes sillier name.
Also Hilda's booked him for Old Public Hall during the daytime for some of the children, if you want to observe from a distance.

Hilda's doing wonderfully and everything has been well attended. The offer to lurk behind the bar stands for the remainder of the week.

Judgemental to the end. Fine, fine.

[Too much People Time for Alucard, and Jaskier wouldn't do well with red tape. Better anyone else.]
I'll source some together with Hilda and you can do a tasting. Sound a plan?

wrap here then?
