[ Taking another sip of his drip, Jaskier hides his smile behind the tankard. He saw that expression change but is choosing not to say anything as to not make Geralt close himself up like a clam again. ]
It couldn't hurt. [ It takes a few seconds but the brunette lady notices the stares and returns it with a small smile and a nod. She will approach them as soon as she's done talking to her actual client. ] Wouldn't that be nice? But the drinks are on me at lest. I've made plenty of coin in our last tavern because there was people there who could actually appreciate musical talents.
Talents. [Yeah, Geralt's not buying it. He gives Jaskier one of his looks before he turns his head again and casts his gaze over to the brunette. As soon as she starts to turn towards them he's back to staring down Jaskier.]
I'll stay for a round. And then you can... continue charming them with your talents. [She'll likely be able to get him to stay longer than Jaskier can, whether Geralt likes it or not. He always starts these nights out with good intentions, but shit inevitably hits the fan in a rather spectacular way.]
Artistry. [ The bard remarks again, not giving a rat ass about the look. He's used to them. He meets the brunette and gives her a smile back, then it dawns on him. ]
Oh Elissa! That's her name. You know, just so you want to shout it at some point. She has many talents too, I've heard. [ Jaskier doesn't elaborate nor he keeps nagging Geralt more. ] Believe it or not, I'm happy simply talking to them, sometimes.
If you could stay happy talking to them you wouldn't need to drag me around. [Geralt flashes Jaskier a tight-lipped smile before following Elissa to another table, with fewer things on it so she can flirt shamelessly with lines like 'So I hear the Witcher plays Gwent'.
Said Witcher might end up playing other things too as long as Jaskier stays out of trouble tonight and the game is intense enough to forget the time.]

[ 'Unlike someone else' goes without saying. ]
