[Jaskier deflates a little. The mask was the best lead he had, as he hadn't seen many others who escaped their own kidnapping (though he had not done much to save himself.)
He looks up quite quickly at Sten. Altering the Arcana? Fuck. He has not really considered their symbols in all his maddened attempts at looking for information. He had not even recognized what was staring in front of him. Alucard, he thinks, may have some insight into this. If the two of them can look for someone else who may have that knowledge -- if anyone in the Free Cities does -- or has heard of an art involving altering Arcana...
He quietly folds the sketch back up, placing it back in his pocket.] Thank you for the insight, regardless. Both of you.
[If the sketch of the mask leads nowhere, they can continue on. He sits back as Nadine offers the flower, which Jaskier supplies:] Lupine? [He may have laughed at the irony if he didn't feel much more like crying at most moments. Lupine. Wolf. In the hands of a wolf, being offered to another. As they search for a wolf.] Outside of the city. I believe I can attempt to bring a bit of life back to it, if that may jog either of your memories.
[But it seems much more the intelligent move to allow the dead bit to be looked over first. He allows the others to look over it while he continues. There's no time to waste, and every second counts.]
Nadine does lead me to my request, and why I have called this meeting. I am hoping we can come to an agreement and preserve a safe space in Nocwich, whether in Oleuni Square or otherwise, where the Summoned from all factions can meet and bring items with them through the portals without interference. If we are not relying on simple word of mouth for any evidence we come across, we can solve these disappearances quicker. And bring everyone home.
