It does pay the beer, I won't argue against that. Rich, famous and alive, that's the life.

[lastwishes]

You're starting to gain quite the name for yourself, you know. People don't only care about me in your songs.

[givingexposition]

Hm, true. It is about time too. I've been working on this for a while.

Just give me a few more years and I'll make us both famous all over the Continent.

[lastwishes]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[even if he usually has his doubts]

[givingexposition]

O ye of little faith.

If I didn't know better I would believe that you are doubting my singing.

[ Jaskier is actually not that surprised.

But the drama.]

[lastwishes]

Some days are more grating than others.

[givingexposition]

You hurt me, Geralt. Deeply.

All my skills at your service and you can't appreciate the talent of my mouth. A shame.

[lastwishes]

It still hurts your soul after all this time?

I appreciate your mouth far more when it stays shut for longer than three seconds at a time.

[givingexposition]

I'm an artist, like you are a warrior. After so many years fighting, would it not offend you if someone called your skills lousy?

Ah but there's no fun in that. If you wants me silenced you'll have to make me.

[lastwishes]

No, because I'd know they were lying.

I tried that once. It didn't work out well, did it?

[givingexposition]

You're missing the point on purpose but...yeah, okay.

I don't think that punching me in the stomach counts as 'trying'. It's not even creative. Many had used that tactic before but punches can't snuff the flame of my passion for singing.

[lastwishes]

I mean to say that maybe you shouldn't care so much what others think about your skills.

So what do you recommend?

[givingexposition]

Oh. That's not terrible advice.

[ Geralt usually gives some good life lessons, it's a pity more people don't listen to him. ]

Maybe asking nicely?

[lastwishes]

You seem confident enough when you're performing.

So if I simply asked you to stop practicing the same verse over and over and over again on the road, you would?

[givingexposition]

I try. I don't want to disappoint our adoring fans.

If it were honestly bothering you, and you used actual words to tell me to stop instead of grunts, then yes. I'd stop, and just repeat it inside my head until I got it right.

[ You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, as they say. ]

[lastwishes]

I'm holding you to this for the next time.

[givingexposition]

Very well. But as I said, you need to ask nicely.

[lastwishes]

I know how to be nice when I want to.

[does he... tho...]

[givingexposition]

Do you? I thought the planets had to align in particular special way for that to happen.

[ Don't mind him pulling your leg, wWitcher. ]

[lastwishes]

And only when the moon is full. That's important.

[he can play along at least]

[givingexposition]

We will have to test that in the future then, see what happen. You asking nice and me shutting up, maybe the world isn't ready for those miracles.

[ Would you look at that? Sense of humor. Jaskier very much approach. ]

[lastwishes]

Stranger things have happened, I'm sure.

[givingexposition]

Hah. And strange things will keep happening in the world with you and me in it, I bet.

Isn't it wonderful?

[lastwishes]

Enough to inspire your music for years to come.

[givingexposition]

If we don't get eating first by a monster.
