[Considering Solvunn's particularities and their cultural activities, Jaskier will be filling a doll in Geralt's likeness full of needles very soon.]
I'm sorry? I should be looking for Ciri, possibly the only person who could take care of herself better than you could? Are you not afraid for me? Surrounded by bloody cultists? WHAT IF I END UP IN A GIANT BLOODY HOLE? THEY'RE BEING SO KIND AND IT'S ALL SO SINISTER. SOMEONE IS TRYING TO GIVE ME A GOAT. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH A GOAT?
[Jaskier isn't listening to someone who should be suffering far worst thanks to his callousness!]
I'M NOT -- YOU'RE SUGGESTING I KILL THE GOAT I WAS JUST GIFTED? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
[Yes, he loves eating goat, but that's not the point, this is his goat! It'd be like eating Mog! Speaking of --]
I'm having enough trouble keeping Mog from running away into the woods never to be seen again. And yes, I have him! Even though you didn't ask, and you should have. How about --
Yennefer?
[At least only a small amount of people can hear his manic laugh.]
Well, can you tell her to make herself useful and check on Feainne and the leosylph? And don't tell her I said that.
It's about time she does something nice. And tell her to stay out of my bloody wine! I --
She's already in it, isn't she?
[Somewhere in Solvunn's forest, Jaskier is rubbing his face while he watches Mog try to catch a rabbit and tear it apart. At least the little blighter is enjoying the forests of his youth.]
Well, even if you're a horse's ass, I'm glad for it. I imagine this monarchy hasn't been tracking the previous one's actions so far back. I would highly suggest you use the private baths while you're in such high regard. I still dream of them sometimes...
[ He isn't too concerned; Solvunn is one of the safer places for Ciri, or so he hopes. It helps, too, that he knows a few there who'll look after her—namely Dean, Steve, Istredd, and now Jaskier. ]
Alucard is in Thorne with me. We haven't spoken yet.
[ But he suspects Alucard is not taking it well so he intends to see to the dhampir soon. ]
[He's going to do absolutely nothing about it... except mourn his finest wines. Because, of course, being Yennefer, she will make sure to drink the finest, most expensive ones.
Right, he has other things to worry about. Namely: everything.]
Then she won't be hard to find. I'll join up with her post-haste.
And yes, Adrian is handling it, er, about as well as you'd imagine, being someone who was thrown in the cages. I know I ask sooo many requests of you, but please, for just this once, be nice to him. There have been times in the past he has spoken of burning Thorne to the ground, and he has the power to do so. I only want him to come out of this the same man who left.
[ They did share a cell, long ago. He's stopped Alucard from doing something he regretted before, though it is debatable whether he was nice about it. But he was effective. Still, he likes to imagine a greater trust has grown between them in the years since. ]
I'll look after him. I don't intend to be trapped here regardless.
[ He'll grant the territories a chance to sort this out but he's no desire to simply accept any of this if a solution isn't reached. He's grown tired of obeying these kingdoms' arbitrary rules and borders. His family is elsewhere; he wants to return to them. ]
Thank you. I'll see you well, soon enough, unless I am addled by a grave head injury and decide I prefer the company of my stinky, bitey goat over you -- which, honestly, doesn't have a far different temperament, though at least you steal my soap on occasion.
Stay out of trouble, Geralt. I know it's hard for you to do so, but... there's a first time for everything.
[ Picking a fight with Nilfgaardian soldiers does not count. That was one time. Being seized by the Cities' guards for illegal portals also does not count. It was in an entirely different sphere. ]

I like to call that a home run
