[It's just him, then. Then again, Jaskier is Jaskier, and he is not unaware of how he appears to others. (And no, he did not miss the fact that Estinien is skirting the question, but he's also allowing it, too. There's no need to squirrel down an answer for this sort of thing.
The offer remains there, on the table.)]
I never consider it a lack. [His fingers drum together, then splay out.] More like a fun addition.
[He feels he needs to emphasize fun with the elf, because he needs a bit of it. It is, of course, naive to expect it considering their circumstances shortly ago... yet one can hope that the opportunity to be so light will be shortly in their futures.
The way he describes this feeling of comfort makes Jaskier wonder quite suddenly if Estinien has long been in short supply with close relationships not only lately, but in his life. With one possessed by angry dragons, that could certainly put a dent into personal connections.] Well, there's not that certain spark with everyone. Besides, according to your stories, she's a bit busy all the time, isn't she?

[That's mostly a joke.]
