[ Steve doesn't really know much of anything about becoming a master bard. Having a somewhat bombastic, flirtatious way of interacting with people does seem to be part of it, though. Jaskier breezes past the whole "beautiful" thing like those sorts of statements come out of his mouth every day — and they probably do.

Still, Jaskier seems to be confident in his abilities, and from what Steve's heard, that isn't at all unfounded. ] You seem to be well on your way. [ He gives a little tilt of the drink in his hand in acknowledgement before leaning back in his seat. ]

Bards aren't really a thing anymore, where I'm from. I mean, there are musicians, and some of them become world-famous, so I do have an idea of what that looks like.

[ Does Jaskier have a loyal following of groupies, too? Steve wouldn't be surprised. Little does he know, he'll find out at the art walk. ]

But bards are more about telling stories with their music, right?
