[ He doesn't know what else he was expecting from this lot. He sighs, letting it go. (You can make your contacts and cure boredom and also know how much coin you're earning.)
Though admittedly, it's the principle of the matter more than anything. He turned down Marlo's token gold once for, you know, getting kidnapped and tortured, and he's not certain he wants to touch anything out of her or her people's coffers given. The circumstances as a whole. In any case, it's not as though they're likely to catch the bird in the first—
Oh. Hm.
He looks between the roof and the bird that now sits within Sephiroth's cradled palms. There they fucking are. Bird achieved.
Geralt straightens up. It's clear he's about to make off before anyone realizes the actual bird has been caught while he's in the vicinity. It's the real one, and not one of Jaskier's replicated attempts—his medallion remains undisturbed. No magic. He can't say this was an expected outcome, but it'll do.
They can worry about the trap later. ]
Enjoy your mystery reward, men. [ He was never here. Do not force him to accompany you to deliver this bird, Jaskier. ]
