[Jaskier laughs.] Yes, in a sense. Though that isn't why I saved his reputation. I knew he'd net good coin out the other end of it.

[Look, he did it a little to help Geralt, as a Witcher. But he wasn't entirely altruistic.

That was life. Especially in that part of his life, where he was still eating bread off the floor. Which Hector does not need to specifically know about. (He'd admit it. Maybe. To him.)

He reaches over and tucks a bit of Hector's hair behind an ear. Just as an excuse to touch him. It's a sweet thing to say -- and true, to boot.]

You have a point. A rather good one, even. But what of you? Will you also grow a name for yourself with your talents here?
