Oh, it sounds ridiculous when you say it like that. No, not exactly. I really don't know. I never got a chance to ask about the details. And his name's Flagg. Randall Flagg.
[And god but she doesn't want to talk about it anymore. For so many reasons - she's talked about it more than she's generally comfortable already, it feels awkward to talk about her husband with the man she slept with to ease the pain of his loss, and there's a sudden exhaustion at Jaskier's simple acceptance. It's not bad, more one of sudden relief that leaves the legs weak and mind stunned.
Acceptance isn't something she's expected to find much of outside of her own people. Certainly not among good people. But here he stands, smiling, taking everything she's told him and just accepting it. Accepting her. He really is much too kind for her. She doesn't deserve this.
That doesn't stop her from wanting it.
Despite her not really minding how much he talks, she really doesn't want to continue this conversation or answer anymore questions. And he's stirred something in her with his words and that soft little smile. Eyes a bit too bright with mixed emotions, Nadine rushes forward to close the distance between them and stretches up to meet Jaskier's mouth with her own.]
