[Unfortunately, Jaskier takes that as invitation and kisses the man's knuckles. Normally he would read the signs, but he's quite overwhelmed himself.
With emotion. With -- the whole entire world. Who has ever recorded Valdo Marx's music? Who would ever care to?
It feels as if his whole life has led to a moment like this.]
I can do that, of course. [His eyes light up, but he finally relinquishes Viktor's hand in order to control himself from kissing him full on the mouth -- an action he does not think Viktor would appreciate. And he cannot do anything to stop him from doing this work.] Thank you. I mean -- I honestly cannot thank you enough. I know you insist, but if there is anything I can ever provide to you, you must tell me..
[Viktor will allow it, only because he's starting to realize this is something of a momentous occasion for the other man. He can tell Jaskier is holding himself back, so perhaps it's good that he seems to wrangle himself after a moment.]
I insist.
[The smile on his face is sincere, clearly pleased with what he's accomplished and Jaskier's reaction in turn.]
But if I think of anything, I'll be sure to let you know.
[He's so accustomed to having to bribe or pay his way to get what he wants, and suddenly men are doing him things without anything in return. How on earth shall he repay him, then?
Hmm. He'll think of something. Something nefarious, even.]
Good. [He looks back at the record, drawing his fingers over it as he takes it back.] I'll be writing letters out on the morrow. Seeing if the other factions have the available machines. Otherwise, I'll fund them myself. I'm sure I can make it work. [Placed in its sleeve, he holds the recording to his chest.] Thank you, Viktor.
