Oh please, as if I would tell! I did alright at your royal courts, didn't I? I didn't offend anyone... too much. I didn't start a single war! [ That's peak diplomacy, right? Whatever his diplomatic skills may be, that he has found his partner on the Continent has made this trip a success. ]
Write a song about them if you would like to. I know you will do it in a way that respects their memory. It will be good for their memory to be kept alive. [ It will hurt to be reminded, sure, but maybe this can help it become the old pain of an old injury rather than the gaping wound it still is years after his parents died. ]
Let's find a day when we both have nothing important to do, and we will talk about the past.
You did wonderfully. No one even unsheathed their swords, which is usually what happens during those kinds of meetings. Well I mean, I did pull out your sword in private but that was a much better end of the night than fighting.
[ It is kind of sad that yes, for Jaskier's homeland standards, that is peak diplomacy. His expression softens when Jiang Cheng gives him permission and Jaskier wishes he was there to talk to the man in person. ]
I promise it will be one of my best songs, darling. All right, that sounds good. I think I have bothered you enough today, you must be busy with your disciples. I'll see you later for dinner then? I was thinking about cooking you a dish form my homeland.
[ He's actually a pretty good cook, so Jiang Cheng doesn't have to worry about Jaskier burning the house down. ]
[ That sword pun is so very much Jaskier that Jiang Cheng gives a startled laugh as he reads it. He shakes his head, fondly amused, promising himself to get back at him for this tonight. ]
Then I'll see you at dinner. The kitchen is all yours. I look forward to a taste of your home.
[ He'll indeed be going back to hounding his disciples now, but with mood much improved. Maybe he will even be somewhat easy on them. ]

See you then, Jiang Cheng. You won't be disappointed.
[ Have fun, love, and don't scare them too much ♥ (only the right amount!) ]
