"Or stick me with other things?" He offers, which could be a flirt but mostly isn't meant to be. He'd rather not be stuck, all right, he still has bottles to fill.
He puts his hands on his hips. That's what's got him as stiff as a rabbit with a stick up its ass, prepped to be thrown on a fire? While he finds it a bit insulting Estinien would assume he thinks like Geralt because they traveled together, let alone that he is anything like Yennefer, he doesn't immediately bite at the comment.
Tempting, though. He understands Yennefer can have her... charms.
(He is not thinking of her charms.)
"I mean this in the kindest, yet sternest way possible: we are not the same person. Geralt's quarrels -- and believe me, they are many -- are not mine. I'm not even touching the topic of Yennefer." And Jaskier makes sure to keep it vice-versa, thank you (unless the quarrel led to someone attempting to kill him, in which he does actually get Geralt involved. For other reasons.) "Look, I don't have to ask what he said. I know Geralt. He is extremely adamant about the idea of never getting involved in anything, ever, so he does everything he can to stay out of it. He tries to." He gives a pause and a sigh, running a hand through his hair. He doesn't normally spout off about Geralt unless it involves his songs or the stories within them, but just this once... the Witcher may understand. "People have tried to use him for politics before, and often. Roped him into it. And it got him -- us -- in a lot of shit. So don't take it personally. He's a prickly bitch, but it is never personal."
And here the last thing he would have guessed was that Estinien was deliberately trying to avoid him because of Geralt. Honestly, how ridiculous. And here he is, nearly defending him. Even more ridiculous! He's not getting paid for it.
"So that's what you feared? I'd be upset with you because of that? He didn't even tell me. Honestly, Estinien..." And here he shifts his hips to the side, adding what may either relieve him or enrage him even further. Yet it's most likely true. "I doubt he even thinks twice about this disagreement of yours."
