[The kiss is easily given, not terribly passionate but sweet and lingering and with slightly parted lips. Nadine twines her fingers in his and leads him gently towards the one bench set up so far.]

I know. And I probably should have said something sooner, but...you were away and I really wasn't sure how to get into it...but I really don't want you to feel like I'm keeping anything from you.

[That's not what it's been. There was no deliberate intention to keep him in the dark or prevent him from finding out. It's only that she didn't think of it from his point of view, how he would feel about not being told. It's still a new thing, to take that into consideration. She's never had a real partner before, someone who's feelings matter this much to her. Jaskier's feelings matter to her.

And here they are, and though she's not well prepared, she's going to tell him. Without any further rambling or qualifying. That's only going to make it harder. She takes a little breath as they settle on the bench, still holding his hand. A finger runs idly over one of his rings.]

So...obviously you know about Dean's whole demon thing for a little while there. I did have an encounter with him in the Horizon while he was like that - again, I'm fine. He didn't hurt me or threaten me.
