I would hope after all this time I know what I'm talking about.
[He's used to it, and for all the things that he may be less than guarded against hearing, Jaskier has absolutely no reason to doubt his musical skills (his skills with protecting his lute from random attacks, however.)
Jaskier lets her hold it, rounding about and taking a step back to see her holding it.
To be fair, it looks incongruent, with her muscled arms and the scar on her face. Ciri, of course, is beautiful -- fitting, coming from her family line -- raised by a host of warriors. Incongruent, maybe, but it's still an image he means to remember.]
Believe me, I know what makes a bad student. Even cleverness without interest is better than certain other qualities.
[Laziness, mostly. Ciri, he can trust, will never turn to sloth. Disinterest is much more likely.] You needn't look for anything now. She suits you, so we'll begin there. You'll need a case, of course, and... all right, it's not really necessary, but I feel every artist's instrument should have its own fingerprint. Figuratively. Perhaps silver knots around the neck? Or sparrows? Is that a bit too on the nose?
