[Jaskier doesn't confirm or deny that little tidbit about Geralt. It is, as they both know, already obvious: Istredd is right. One hardly needs much time around Geralt to pick up his most base personality.
Jaskier has never been Geralt's companion for his warmth, to be fair.
It's a bit difficult to be a bard and say, oh, yes, I've always gotten that feeling despite never having visited a monolith himself. Why should he? They're sacred at best and horribly dangerous at worse, and now he knows they are actually ancient dwarven technology that was the gigantic, magical equivalent of a portal. A portal that could reach across spheres. The monoliths on the Continent were a tool. Nothing more.]
It is sentient. I can promise you that. [He himself has felt it enough to be sure. And that is only after he confirmed it once Julie discussed her... visions? Conversations?
Jaskier tips his head. If he wasn't getting a sense of who Istredd is, he might say the man was in love with it. Perhaps, in a way...] Catastrophic, one might say. [Jaskier pauses to lean down, offering his hand to one of the leosylphs. Unfortunately, though he listens, he can't stay still for long. And he has enough to hide as it is.] You know, the fae told me that it didn't only create this sphere, but every sphere. Every plane. Including a whole other plane of existence that the fae came from. She called the Singularity... what was it? The source of all life and all magic.
