[He smiles, and it's softer this time.] I think it suits the Witcher's bard. It's not only once I've been called as much. [It's true that he does not see it as such a terrible thing now that the danger has passed. The potion saved his body; Geralt saved his life; Sam saved his mind. And Ciri has saved the part of him that was afraid of the rift that the event could have made between them before he ever got a chance to be anything to her.
That he knew of, at least.
He tips his head.] All that sounds awful. And you. You're awfully bossy, too. [When Jaskier lifts his eyes, his brows darken a bit as he tries to read her expression. It isn't like Geralt, who he feels he knows rather well inside and out. After all this time, he better. But Ciri is... an unknown. Surely she must know more of him than he knows of her.
His smile returns.] Very well, my lady. If you insist. [To be fair, he wouldn't mind skipping all that stiffening and itching. It does not sound very enjoyable.
He wonders if she's driving herself from him already on purpose. It's not in him to force her to stay.] Of course. Thank you for coming to check on me. [He gives her a little wave.] You must know I adore the doting attention.
