[ What does he think? Normally, he wouldn't worry. Not like this. If they were on the Continent, he would be assured that Jaskier has his connections, his friends, his fame and status and reputation with several courts to shield him. He would know that if things grew out of hand, at the very least he could bring the bard to Kaer Morhen. He would have his own people to rely on.
Out here, he's alone. It's a strange thought. He's always been alone, has always said that he's alone. But now that he's cut off from even his home, from Vesemir and the others, it leaves him feeling...he isn't sure, what the words to describe it would be. Unmoored, maybe. ]
Not now. But... [ Fuck. There's too much he doesn't understand about this world. Jaskier has not ever asked to be involved in any of this. Just to travel alongside a friend. Some part of Geralt wants to keep him out of this as much as possible. Jaskier has also known him for years. Isn't an idiot, either, despite how often Geralt calls him one. He's under no illusion the bard won't catch on that something is amiss, between the two of them, eventually. ] He'll realize in time we're keeping from him.
