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?

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. ]

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

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

I know how to be nice when I want to.

[does he... tho...]

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. ]

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

[he can play along at least]

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. ]

Stranger things have happened, I'm sure.

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

Isn't it wonderful?

Enough to inspire your music for years to come.

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

It's bound to happen. but if you're around I'll make sure you're safe first.

It's not bound to happen. Don't you dislike the idea that destiny is settled? Don't make those terrible assumptions about the future, my dear witcher.

That said...I know you would.

All witchers are expected to die to a monster. That's what we were made for, to fight until we can't any longer. Some things just are, Jaskier.

You following me may just count for an earlier death for you.

In that case, some things just sucks and maybe it's time, after so many decades, that they change once and for all.

As opposed to? A long, boring life getting drunk at royal parties and letting my views of the world get more and more narrowminded as the days go on? I like being with you, where the adventure is.

I could use less bandits trying to mug us, though.

[hmmmm]

Sometimes you sound wiser than anticipated.

Better the bandits fight me than merchants and families on the road. People have been getting more and more desperate.

Do I? Gods, don't tell anyone. It might ruin my reputation.

[ He's smiling because of course he is. Or was until that last part. ]

I noticed. Nilfgaard is becoming a continent-wide problem.

Right, you're just a humble bard, aren't you?

And it isn't going to stop any time soon.

Humble as a flower. My mom used to call me dandelion as a kid.

Maybe it's time we head to the coast then. Go to a beach, enjoy some sunny days for a change.

Fitting. She knew what she was talking about.

I haven't been to the coast in ages. As long as there's work.

She's a very wise woman. Can't sing to save her life, either, I think you'd like her.

Sounds like we've got a plan. And sure is, the sea is full of terrifying things. Also sirens, let's see if I can sing better than them.

So did you take after your father or genetics were just having fun with you?

If we get close enough to a siren to hear it sing, we're already in trouble.

Hard to say, I've never met him. But most likely the later.

Yes, most likely. But I'm confident that you'd get us out of it before a siren manages to drown us.

Hm. We have something else in common.

Is there no beach on this blasted continent that's actually peaceful?
