Yeah, definitely not a sentence Jaskier thought he would hear in his lifetime. Such a big difference from when they slow and get killed. And there it is again, the Cintra conversation sneaking into his thoughts once more, because somehow it's always haunting him, even after all these years.

He should've seen the signs, Jaskier thinks, the mountain incident could've been prevented, and-- he's doing it again, thinking about how foolish he feels. He's supposed to be enjoying this little vacation, gotta concentrate on the good. Food, wine, and a story from an old-but-not-really friend. Keep yourself together, self!
"Wow." He finally comments after whistling his surprise. "Decades later you're still full of surprises. And you don't get bored or restless here? Do you feel accomplished? Do you feel..."
A pause to worry his lower lip, calloused fingers rubbing the spoon between them as blue eyes search gold for answers. He doesn't know exactly what kind of answers he wants (needs), just... answers.
