I know you aren't. I absolutely would not say that to anyone who would take me up on the offer.
[The joke comes easily; at least this part of him is the same as before. Before. Before a single night somehow apparently ruined him to the point that Sam gives him these large puppy eyes, as if he's at the brink of doing something terrible and dramatic. No. He simply wants to drink. He simply would rather not remember.
Jaskier is already shaking his head. Wow. Who knew he had so many options?]
No, I don't wish to tell you to fuck off, thank you. I'm not so rude. I don't mind your company, even when you're being a little pushy. [That isn't even laced in sarcasm. He means it. Even if he's miserable and afraid and wants to be alone, he truly doesn't. He never has. Jaskier is simply not like that.
And that is who he is. So he is still the same, in the ways that matter, and though he doesn't offer one hand -- the ones with the burns -- he does place his left hand over Sam's, whether he understands the depth of the gesture or not.] I could never deny anyone so handsome. I'm a simple man at heart.
