[ Jaskier would not be the first or last person to be surprised that Jayce's book cover is so different from the description within. He's really used to it at this point. Even after becoming famous for Hextech, some people thought he must be a pretty front man for the project, not the creator of it. His face is all over Piltover and he's still not used to it, not really. Coming here has been a nice change of visibility. ]

Viktor's actually very funny, but it's a deadpan dry type of humor. I'm usually the bad pun guy.

[ It took Jayce a little while to catch on to Viktor's particular sense of humor, since he is not a subtle man, and Viktor is all subtlety. He finds him hilarious now that he gets it, but Jayce really is the hammer to Viktor's nail. Direct, obvious, forceful.

He smiles at the bow and the theatricality, it's very charming. This is the sort of person that was actually meant to be famous, not the secretly awkward nerd being pushed into the spotlight. It's easy to admire someone who it seems to come so easily to. ]

I'm pretty sure they might both blame themselves more than the other.

[ He already knows that Viktor does, and Ciri seems like the responsible type too, who might see her being unable to protect him from everything as a flaw. ]

I offered to heal them both when they get here, from whatever this little adventure might have brought down.

[ Still being very general since he cannot tell how much Jaskier knows, and he is not going to reveal much. Jayce has been steadily learning healing magic since arriving and the Horizon gave him a boost, not to mention his regular studying with Nadine at the medicine academy.]

How did a bard end up being the traveling companion of a monster fighter, if I can ask?
