okay but jaskier who just compliments people all the time (literally just constantly spouting off the first thing that pops into his head, and he does genuinely love people and see admiral traits), so geralt doesn’t actually REALIZE that the ones jaskier uses on him are supposed to be doing anything
like jaskier just told the woman who sold them bread that she had eyes that would put the trees in spring to shame, so how is geralt supposed to understand that when jaskier presses close and talks about how lovely geralt is, it’s meant to drive at something??? that’s just??? how the bard communicates apparently???
#geraskier#geralt#jaskier#pen posts#meanwhile jaskier is just banging his head against a WALL#he does genuinely think people are beautiful so he tells them so#BUT FOR FUCK'S SAKE GERALT HOW MANY TIMES DOES JASKIER HAVE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR KINDNESS#YOUR STEADINESS#YOUR PATIENCE#YOUR GOODNESS#HOW MANY TIMES DOES HE HAVE TO FUCKING COMPARE YOUR HAND SIZES UNTIL YOU GET A FUCKING HINT#DO YOU REALLY THINK JASKIER NEEDS TO COMPARE FINGER LENGTH THAT FUCKING BAD???#TAKE A HINT#jaskier: 'your eyes are brighter than sunlight and warm me even better'#geralt: 'yeah good morning let's go'#unstoppable force (jaskier's constant compliments) meets immovable object (geralt's self-loathing that will rationalize away ANYTHING)#i love the idea of geralt just not picking up ANYTHING bc oh that's just how jaskier is#pffft back at kaer morhen everyone is trying to take him aside and be like 'hey geralt. do you...know jaskier wants to jump you??'#and geralt just rolls his eyes 'just wait. he'll compliment you too'#he will but not with the fucking starry eyes he does geralt#which is apparent to everyone BUT geralt
