[He's not trying to ruin the moment. He watches her face, hears the words. And of course, he's heard much sweeter ones -- in tone, in their choice. But sweet words mean nothing without the intent behind them.
He knows this is not easy for her. Which is why it means so much.]
And I, you. [Jaskier, in a rare moment, bites his lip. It is here, sometimes, in the moments that matter that most, that the right words are difficult to find.] You have become very important to me, Nadine. It has been a delight simply getting to know you, to watch you... well. To watch you take what you're learning you deserve.
[He has a feelt. And he has a feeling saying what he feels in such words may be too much for her to hear. Because Jaskier, if he knows himself at all, knows when he can be too much. Too much for the quiet, steady presence Nadine has become in his life.
So he settles with that. Important. A woman he would do anything for.]
