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.

[lastwishes]

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

[givingexposition]

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.

[lastwishes]

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.

[givingexposition]

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.

[lastwishes]

[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.

[givingexposition]

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.

[lastwishes]

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

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

[givingexposition]

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.

[lastwishes]

Fitting. She knew what she was talking about.

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

[givingexposition]

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.

[lastwishes]

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.

[givingexposition]

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.

[lastwishes]

Hm. We have something else in common.

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

[givingexposition]

Oh. Who would have guessed.

Not the ones in the North, that for sure. But we can keep looking until we find one.

[lastwishes]

You're very determined. Need a vacation from my lifestyle?

[givingexposition]

Maybe I just want an excuse to see you shirtles and also not covered in monster's guts. The sea washes out those pretty nicely.

[lastwishes]

You haven't needed an excuse to ogle me before.

[givingexposition]

I wasn't ogling! I'm a gentleman, I was just...admiring. Intensily.

[lastwishes]

I've noticed it more lately.

[givingexposition]

Congrats on your fantastic eyesight, Geralt.

Are you going to do something about it?

[ About his 'admiring' looks, Jaskier means, because he's not going to stop doing that anytime soon ]
