[Jaskier simply calls them as he sees them, as they say. (He's learning.)]
Well, save your praises until after the deed is done and we see whether I'm right or not. [He is, of course, right.
Please, don't be funny. Jaskier's been dealing with people unwittingly in love with the Witcher for -- too long. How old has Yennefer become since they met? Look at the Witcher now. Hated in his own lands, and now he's juggling two beaus on opposite ends of the world. It's almost admirable, if Jaskier wasn't, you know. Jaskier.]
Don't worry for it, for Geralt's skill in artistry of any kind is nonexistent -- though yes, I concede his carvings are delightful, but only because he puts no meaning in them. I certainly do not suggest poetry; he shall not appreciate it. He is well-read, and he does enjoy books... you know, whether you have skill in it or not, I am wondering if he should not appreciate a hand-written journal detailing some of those memories, from your own eyes. Especially because, I'm sure, you know of his time in that space, where he forgot who he was. I think Geralt appreciates perspective, though you wouldn't think it of him.
What do you think? A bit too "artsy," as they say?
[There is a pause as John considers the thought, although truth be told if they had been in the same room together Jaskier would have known how delighted John is by the idea from the start.]
[John has seen Geralt's letters with Yennefer, after all. Seen where Geralt keeps them, safe in their little box. He cannot allow himself to consider his own writings treasured in such a way, but perhaps... They will find their own place in Geralt's life. Just as he himself has done.]
It is daunting, but that makes it all the more meaningful, I think. I do not wish to impress that art needs suffering to be important, but I don't think it hurts.
Think nothing of it, my friend. You saved my life. This is only a drop in a bucket of what I owe thee in return.
