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.

[givingexposition]

I do not! How dare you slander me that way?

[ Way to prove Geralt's point, Jas. ]

[lastwishes]

I don't even have to try sometimes.

[givingexposition]

You just think you're hot shit because of your super strength, and the fast than lighting reflexes, and the gold piercing eyes and those lovely back muscles, and your strong thighs...

...what we're we talking about again?

[lastwishes]

I've never known someone who gets so easily distracted like you do.

[givingexposition]

I don't think you realize the way you look in those leather breeches.

I'll get you a full length mirror.
