[ I know, Jaskier says. And given who his best friend is, Steve can make a few guesses, but he actually doesn't feel that pressed to ask for more details. Whatever Jaskier and Geralt do or don't get up to in their spare time is between them.

But the observation Jaskier makes is an interesting one, and Steve glances off for a moment, considering. Did he want to talk about it? Maybe. It feels easier to do with someone like Jaskier, who isn't ever going to judge how someone approaches either love or a fling or anything in between. ]

... I guess you're right. I'm just not used to sharing specific details of my personal life, but I know most people have probably already figured it out anyway.

[ He shrugs. He and Sam share a room, after all, and did even before they officially made this into something. That probably raised eyebrows, even if it had been perfectly innocent at first. ]

That was a minimal amount of probing for you, based on what I've heard. [ Did he just make a sex joke? Yes, he did. Steve stands and dusts himself off, as if he's going to see Jaskier out. ] But yeah, lunch break should be ending soon. It'd be nice to see a familiar face again, but don't go out of your way, all right? I know you're a busy guy.

[ With those words, and a nod and a wave, they part ways. ]
