[ CLOSED ] when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
Who: Jaskier, Ciri, Geralt, eventually Sam?
When: First week of October
Where: The desert outskirts of Cadens
What: Jaskier attempts to help Ciri learn magic with disastrous results.
Warnings: Bodily injury, may move to mild body horror depending.
[With the climate they found themselves in, it only made sense for them to really embrace their new... eccentric talents. At least, that was what Jaskier tells himself, and when he tells himself it -- regarding Ciri, in particular -- it all makes sense, of course. If they are all gifted with magic, then it only makes sense to make use of it.
After all, it's free. And they need skills to make a living off of. As far as he understands, Ciri is, er, well. Like Geralt. A hunter.
Magic, hunting. It all fits together.
Okay, fine. He's terribly bored also. And he's tired of being the only one with magic around here. (He's still avoiding the whole plant thing. He prefers not to think about it, actually.]
All right, my dear. I -- well, I don't claim to know many, er, spells, but we can start on what I started on. Simply a little bird. [He, of course, adds a completely unnecessary flourish to his movements, and a bit of sparks, holding out his hand with a dove sitting on his palm.]
It's a bit hard to describe. I sort of... imitated watching it, I suppose.
[He sort of definitely wants to see Ciri try to imitate his flourish.]

It was an accident.
[ She says suddenly, a few very slow bites in, after the fresh round of ale has come and she's had enough of it to make her head feel a little more cottony, her thoughts more manageable, easier to slip through instead of getting stuck like barbs in her brain.
She's not sure why she says it. If she thinks Sam doesn't believe her. Or that Jaskier will blame her, when he's properly awake and understands how badly he was hurt. Maybe it's more to convince herself than anyone else. ]

he softens, feeling a bit like he might know the general state of what that might feel like. after another pause, sam nods. ]
I know. [ or maybe i figured would be more accurate.
then sam turns back to his food, taking another bite. ]
