[ Jayce's clothing does have a tendency to cling to him no matter what, he's gone up a size since coming here thanks to non-stop smithing too, so it's easy to look at his bulk and think he's a fighter. But it's all work-related. He glances back at Jaskier, feeling his eyes on him, and he raises his eyebrows.
He flushes but not in an embarrassed way, more that the casual question like that actually brings up some very dark truths for him. But Jayce did step into it by offering up information, and he's been forcing himself to take full responsibility for what happened. And sometimes that means owning up even in a casual conversation. ]
I didn't lose. [ And because it's hard he swallows before continuing. ] I killed several someones, using a high-tech hammer that I created.
[ The hammer sometimes appears in his domain just to mess with him, or rather his subconscious is messing with him. The problem is in this situation he can remember that rush of power from the fight in his veins, just for a moment. The rage that led him there. It was all very intense. Not that killing people would be a surprise for Jaskier, who wrote songs about Geralt doing that. For the soft-hearted blacksmith though, it's new. ]

It's the worst thing I've ever done.
