Summary
Jaskier meets another bard who seems to be perfect for him in every way. Geralt doesn't like it.
“What surprises me,” Jaskier continued, “is that there’s a musician of such skill and I’ve never heard of him. He wasn’t at Oxenfurt, doesn’t compete in the tournaments and big festivals, has no reputation whatsoever. He knew all my songs but had none of his own to play. With talent like that – not to mention a face like that – he’d be a sensation. Melitele, Geralt, is this what envy feels like?”
I don’t know, Geralt thought. I’ve never been envious. Have I?

Summary
Nandor is leaning against the curtained doorway, bumping his head back against the jamb over and over again as he listens to Guillermo just bitch.
“Memo, why have you not gotten a wife yet?” Guillermo imitates. “Memo, you should try the same diet Alexia is on. Memo, I saw Jeremiah in the supermercado yesterday, you two used to be such good friends—”
“Yeesh, alright, I get it,” Nandor finally snaps out, holding his hands over his ears. “You can stop with the voices now. It sounds insufferable.”
“It is insufferable!” Guillermo shoves another sweater into his overnight bag. “But Victor had to go and get engaged and plan the wedding for the same fucking weekend so here I am! Guilt-tripped into helping for a cousin I don’t even really know!”

Summary
When Jaskier finally has no more delays as an excuse, he swaggers over and drapes himself over the bench opposite the witcher, taking a long swig of his drink and studying the man across from him over the rim. The cider is almost painfully bad, acidic and aggressively alcoholic. Still, he appreciates it for the distraction it is from everything he’s trying very hard not to feel. He tries to look at the witcher with a stranger’s eyes, wondering if he would still love him despite all of the pain if he’d never known about the beautiful heart behind that handsome face.
Annoyingly, the answer is “yeah, probably.”
Surprisingly, Geralt speaks first.
“Jaskier, listen, I want to-”
“Sorry,” Jaskier interrupts, summoning all of the arrogance an upbringing like his can instill, “have we met before?” As approaches go, it’s fairly juvenile, but from Jaskier’s experience, there are few barbs more cutting than being forgotten entirely. He doubts Geralt will actually entertain the bit for any length of time, but it’s deeply satisfying to say.
(being the petty bitch he is, jaskier pretends not to know geralt) (is it really HIS fault if geralt believes him??)

Summary
“I don’t need assistance to bathe, bard.”
“Need isn’t the purpose, witcher,” Jaskier says, emphasizing the last word just enough to let Geralt know he’s peeved at being addressed by something other than his name.
“Then what would be the purpose, bard?” Geralt says the last word with meaning now just to be contrary. After the poet found in him in the spring for a second year of tailing along and being a nuisance, he seems to feel entitled to cordialities Geralt isn’t willing to afford.
“Because it feels good?” The bard says, as if Geralt is missing something obvious.
(Jaskier wants to help Geralt relax) (Geralt is not familiar with this concept even slightly) (Jaskier persists)
