[Ah. Foot, meet mouth. The purse of Jaskier's lips is contrite; it feels a bit like being corrected by a professor, without the thwacking of a stick.] All right, so it worked for you that time.
[At least he's polite about it! Though Jaskier maintains his idea is a very cute and quirky one, if not a little -- wait, like what?
There is a reaction. And it is instantaneous.
Jaskier outright screams. It's a scream of surprised terror, and the force of it -- or in his desperate bid to step backwards -- makes him tumble to the ground, landing on his tailbone, which shoots a pain up through his spine, which is both awful and barely felt at all. He stares in horror at the swirling bats that are currently occupying the space where his friend once was, shuffling backwards in the sand.
Let's just say it's really good that he pissed only moments before this.]
I am screaming (so is he)
