[He thinks he may have lost his mind if he had decided to turn her down. For what reasons! Unless Libertas meant to grind him up and spit him out, but... he certainly doubts it. Besides, he's played in much more terrible places than any Free City could turn out to be.]
You know, I may take you up on that. I've always thought that the best way to learn of a new place is by living in the heart of it.
[Besides, free accommodations would make it so he could do this sooner rather than later. The charity was a hit so far, but it still had driven quite a hole in his purse.
So, it is set: a promised concert in Libertas. Surely his bandmates will agree, considering their hunger for notoriety.
Oh. His expression changes to something almost sheepish, or at least as close as it has ever gotten on Jaskier's face.] Ah. Well, that is easy to answer, yet hard to make happen. It's a bit idealistic, I'm afraid, but I am thinking of proposing a sort of council of arts -- a meeting of the Summoned and citizens of the Free Cities where we may share our respective works from our worlds, if they can be recreated, and to further the cause of the arts in the future.
[He has yet to test the waters enough with Quilleth to mention it, but if he wishes to change anything in this world, it is a focus on art and moving attention away from military advances. He knows that war will change nothing. But art, through music and poetry, paintings and writings... that, he knows, can change minds.] The restoration of the Old Public Hall is only the first step to that. My associates and I wish to give the people a place to celebrate art, to partake in it, first. And then we shall see how we can expand from there.
