[From most men, they may have felt like idle platitudes. But having known Rhy for some time, Jaskier does believe them. And there is some small amount of relief -- though it is not truly his to claim -- that, in some small way, they were not alone. (Was it the Singularity itself? Did it not want them to be alone? Or is it the reason they were?
Fuck. He touches a rock once and feels it vibrate, and suddenly it feels like -- ugh. Like Ronan was right.)]
You truly are too good sometimes, Rhy. Though I wish I could have done more, you did me a great service reassuring my friend. And I hope that she did the same -- though I know Julie is what one may fondly call abrasive.
Not at all! Julie was a wonderful comfort. She was so kind to me. I think I might have gone mad if I'd been alone. I really don't think that's an exaggeration. Having someone to talk to was
I can't say I was happy she was in that situation, but I know I was glad not to be alone, even so.
When I couldn't get the Horizon to respond to me, she helped. Somehow, she was able to make me warm clothing when I had none, and she talked me through pulling together some sort of shelter. When I was panicking, she kept a level head and talked me through it.
[It is true she has a wealth of kindness behind her rather rough exterior. He thinks (though privately,) that is why she has been so good at reading Geralt. She is, in many ways, quite similar to him.
But he cannot help but still be surprised by the praise. Not that she was kind, but that she must have been in the same situation. Somewhere... they were not meant to be. In the Horizon. When even Jaskier, who has taken to it like a second nature, could not accurately create that which he wanted. And that patience and kindness extended to someone she did not know.]
I will do my best to make sure your thanks are accurately conveyed. We live quite close to each other, and... you know, in time, I hope we will all be able to meet. It is something I am working towards, as much as I have the power to do so.

I wish I could thank her in person.
