[It's certainly not the first time someone has laughed at him, so he only waves a hand with a smile at her insistence.] No. I'm far from unhappy with you, my dear.
[Oh! And he gets a kiss for his efforts. See? It was all completely worth it. And though he has, of course, done nothing about the source of her grief, he's much relieved to see that there is opportunity for a lightness. His tail flicks as it curls around his chair, the tea warm and soothing. It's a start. It's not the end, but it's a start.
The sigh leaves Jaskier tilting his head. He does enjoy learning of her world, even if all the names she gives him are unfamiliar. It must be a curious place, he thinks, with what she's told him of herself. Of this... this power, and this need in men to take it. Of course, he hasn't asked for many details on the power himself. It's simply there, if she needs it.
Which he considers quite a good thing.]
Ah. [That's what the sigh was. Had she met Karin there? Or Yuri?] I... no, you haven't. I never assumed that was the case, actually. [And now he senses a trepidation both in her and in himself. His tail goes stiff.] I admit, I'm now afraid to ask why.
