[As much as Jaskier particularly loves giving things away, he never expects anything in return. It is rare he's received gifts in any physical manner beyond Julie, Nadine, and their ilk; those who come from worlds where holidays always meant gifts were intended to be given.
And he has enjoyed it, participating. Still. Every one still surprises him.
Such as the glowing wreathe he finds in the office. Given that it's in the office, it's clear who the deliverer may be; there's no in and out access unless one or both of them are here, and this has a clearly... gentle hand involved. Not only gentle, but one with artistic intention.
A rare thing, no matter where he is.]
Adrian. It's good you're not here. I have an awful crying face.
Well, I'm not sure if I've seen every one I can. Perhaps you'll have to show me yours at some point. In a good way!
[He feels that merits some clarification.]
Don't undersell yourself, Adrian. Your craftsmanship is exquisite, and the clear love you have for me (of hwich I have no doubt of) shines as bright as your hair.
[He's allowed to tease him. To lessen how much it means, obviously.]

[Alucard is gratified enough to be given any kind of acknowledgement at all. But this is more than he expected, and perhaps that means something too.]
You're welcome. Hang it wherever you see fit. I know the craftsmanship isn't quite that of a master gardener like yourself.

--Hm, are you sure? My hair is very bright.
no subject
Oh, don't flatter yourself too much, old friend. You know I'm here to keep you humble. And to acknowledge the truths of how much you adore me.
no subject
When have I ever acted anything but humble, excluding the occasional boast about my hair?
no subject
If you're still humble after all you've accomplished, doesn't that mean I'm simply doing my job well?
no subject
...No, I think that's a natural thing for me. If anything, you feed my ego.
