[Really, Viktor hopped on board because he's interested in the guy who lost the pigeon. He's a famous inventor, with ties to the local government--why wouldn't he leverage an introduction, if possible? Well, lots of reasons. But when Jaskier roped him into this, he could see the immediate benefit, even if the task is more than a little ridiculous.]
Klingel is a useful contact, given my line of work.
[He shrugs, attention still on the roof. Geralt can take any and all material rewards, he supposes--that's not what he's really concerned about (money would be nice, though). Any further arguments with regards to the nature of this job and what Jaskier may or may not have agreed on leading up to it is cut short when he sees the trap go off far above them.]
Oh! Good. [A pause.] Someone's going to have to go back up there to get it.
[Except, there is still a bird fluttering around, startled by the sudden activation of the trap, and he can't tell if it's the bird they're supposed to be capturing, or one of Jaskier's, but either way it has its moment, then begins a staggered, fluttering descent. Oh no.]
