[ While it certainly wouldn't do to show up late and disheveled for his meeting with Dean, something tells Blake that all would be forgiven if he explained how hard up he's been. Unfortunately, with his timetable in place, all he can do is smile between Jaskier and the gifts, impressed (perhaps for the first time) by the utility of the magic in use. ]
Sounds like you're callin' me burden, and here we just met.
[ The cheekiness spreads into a full-on grin as Blake shuffles the cheese bread into the crook of his elbow in order to carefully unwrap the berries for a taste. Maybe he's lingering a bit, but he wants to be sure the efforts on the bard's part aren't passed by without his notice. Or without Jaskier noting his notice. ]
Any messages for Geralt?
[ He studies a blackberry, twisting it in his fingers, gently squeezing it as if testing for ripeness. It's probably the single most beautiful blackberry he's ever seen — almost too nice to eat. Is the compliment due to the gardener or the magician? Are they one in the same?
Meanwhile, Blake reasons Jaskier can send his own messages just like everyone else, but that's really not the point, is it? He could do the same and spare the trip altogether, but he really needs the outing and he thinks Geralt appreciates a personal touch even if he's not so (outwardly, willingly) personable himself. Looking at Jaskier, that much seems doubly true. ]
