I enjoy them rarely,
but far more often with you.

We will find a beach. I promise.

[givingexposition]

I'm glad to hear that. Feel free to try to make me blush to your heart content. I can't promise I won't retaliate, though.

I believe you. I should get some sunscreen so you can help me put it on.

[lastwishes]

It's nearly impossible to make a witcher blush. I'd be truly impressed.

You just want an excuse for me to run my hands all over your body.

[givingexposition]

Challenge accepted then. Managing to surprise you is always the highlight of my day.

Me? Would I do that?

[ Yes, yes he would. ]

[lastwishes]

You've had your moments.

Yes, Jaskier. Yes you would.

[givingexposition]

There will be many more in the future if I get my way.

Okay, yeah. So? Is that a no? Will you be cruel enough to leave me burning under the bright sun? I'll let you know that my skin is very delicate. Maybe you need a reminder.

[lastwishes]

Much about you is delicate indeed but you are also stronger than you think.

But no, I won't let you burn. Getting my hands on you wouldn't exactly be a chore.

[givingexposition]

There you go, charming again. Isn't that usually my style?
And I'm not, really. but that's sweet of you to say.

My hero. You rub my back, I rub your lovely bottom. Quid pro quo, as they say.

[lastwishes]

You've inspired me in recent weeks.

I'm now realizing why you always took your sweet time...

[givingexposition]

I don't know if getting you hot and bothered counts as inspiring but I'll take it.

Uhm. Ey, I honestly wanted to help back then. And you didn't voice your complain when you had the chance, no point in doing that now to embarrass me.

[lastwishes]

I'm not trying to embarrass you. Just musing over how dense I was.

[givingexposition]

[ That got him to laugh. ]

It's fine, the clueleness had its own kind of charm.

I entertained myself thinking about how much innuendo I could get away with before you barked at me.

But I did tell you that someone might want you, and that I needed you...and it still flew right over your head. Truly amazing.

[lastwishes]

I was... in a different place back then. I also didn't know you as well.

But no, you're right. I was quite clueless in the end.

[givingexposition]

You don't need to explain yourself, Geralt. I understand. If I am honest, I'm surprised you let me tag along when we first met. Being stubborn and reckless has it's perks.

And yet, here we are again. It's all good.

[lastwishes]

You didn't give me much choice, did you?

[givingexposition]

'Course not. You would have chosen wrong, you don't know what's good for you.

[lastwishes]

Hmm but clearly you do.

[givingexposition]

I make a lot of well thought out decisions.

[ In his dreams maybe. ]

[lastwishes]

Name one.

[givingexposition]

...

Damn it.

[lastwishes]

You act first, think later. It's part of your charm.

[givingexposition]

At least you find it charming.

I made the decision to follow you around, so clearly not everything I do is ill advised.

[lastwishes]

It only took a decade or so.

Your judgment may have been off considering how much I insulted and pushed you away, but you're resilient, I'll give you that.

[givingexposition]

And what a decade it had been! I suppose we weren't ready back then.

[ He doesn't say for what they weren't ready. Feelings are hard to discuss and he's still somewhat scared of assuming too much. ]

If it comforts you any, as an artist I'm used to criticism. So I barely paid attention when you complained.

[lastwishes]

Hm.

[He doesn't say it, but Geralt has a feeling he knows what he means.]

You always seemed to react so dramatically.
