[It's for Dean's benefit he doesn't have a nickname. Besides, "Jaskier" is technically his nickname, anyway.
He smiles. Even if this wasn't what he expected for today, it not terrible. Having someone enjoying what he's made -- really enjoying it, apparently -- will keep him motivated, where the muses may have abandoned him.
Temporarily, of course.]
You're the one who came here, wanting to talk. [He gestures for Dean to go on if he wishes.] There was little good to come out of it. But if you don't want to go whatever that is, then spit out what else you have for me. [It's not scathing like it might've been before; now, Jaskier looks eager for more distraction, to be honest.] I didn't think you were a man to hesitate on his requests. And you can hardly pressure me, so. Go on.
[That's just a fact. No one can, really.
If it's enough for Dean to say it isn't important, then it probably is important, but he doesn't want it to seem that way. Jaskier needs something important. Something that makes him feel like he's doing instead of merely existing.]
