[It should be obvious, yet hearing it hits him harder than he expects. It's not like he thinks things have always been smooth between them, it took them a while to get where they are now. But there's a difference between annoying or awkward and actually uncomfortable. Jaskier has always wanted to push Geralt out of his brooding and enjoy himself more, but not crossing the line into distressful.
There are so many details he knows that and always makes sure to pay attention to, how many did he break as a teen?
But those are thoughts for later - here is Geralt thinking they shouldn't talk about things again. That he shouldn't share them with Jaskier.]
That's not-- [He sighs as his hand leaves Geralt's chest to rub his forehead instead. This is going to be a long evening.] When I said this merits discussion after all, I meant the arragement - since we obviously weren't on the same page, my friend. You are correct, I wasn't going to bring up the matter of the heartbeat - but that's not because it bothers me or whatever the hell you're thinking, you big oaf. I said it already, did I not? I think it's sweet. It's nothing to be ashamed of, and I wish you did plan on sharing these things with me! I like them!
[He can't stop his voice from raising at the end as he throws his hands in the air, some frustration slipping back into his mood. Geralt's witchering qualities aren't monstrous in his eyes - quite the opposite, in fact. Jaskier thinks they're marvelous. If only Geralt wasn't ashamed of them.]
So. [There goes his hands to his hips like the worried housewife he is.] Do you want to keep the arregement? Yes or no, I won't take any other of your dodging answers!
