Alucard will nod and admit he understands why there might be ruffled feathers by those already used to commercial success wanting the same trade space in the Square with other, smaller start ups. He'll admit that he hopes it'll encourage Ikorr to open their gates a bit more, but that it is a very biased thought as he wants to continue to learn more about how vampires here are compared to those back home.

He'll likewise acknowledge that he has perhaps monopolized the botanist's time, but that is is so very grateful to have learned even a fraction of Ikorr's rich cultural heritage. As he pays for a few of the samples, he'll include an address card for his and Jaskier's business office, and a note on the back about where he can usually be found when the Square is open. If the botanist is willing to meet up, or just exchange letters, Alucard will readily express his gratitude. He feels like he's made a real connection tonight.
