Yeah, that absolutely sounds like touchy topic he shouldn't go into to Jaskier. He turns to Geralt to apologize and change the subject, only to find him... staring? Not at his eyes, though, he's not glaring at him for his comments. He follows the direction of Geralt's gaze to check and--
No fucking way.
Is this really happening? Is he reading this correctly? Is it actual progress? Eager to test his theory and with his heart beating a little faster than usual, Jaskier finishes the rest of the strawberry in one bite, then proceeds to very slowly lick his lips while trying to make eye contact.
Geralt just turns and leaves.
Bollocks. Has he made him uncomfortable? But is it in a good way or a bad way? Why is this guy so hard to read, for fuck's sake! Thankfully Jaskier is nothing but stubborn, so he quickly follows Geralt into the bushes, grabbing a couple of honeyberries on the way. He doesn't go back to picking yet - in fact he hurries to end up ahead of Geralt on the path, walking backwards so there's no way Mr DILF can miss his little show.
"You know, Geralt..." This grin? Could put Cheshire's to shame. "You still haven't told me your favorite song."
A bit of a lame question, really. His quest to get to know Geralt better isn't over yet, but right now his goal has changed: conversation is just an excuse to stay in front of the man, blue eyes locked on golden as he takes the honeyberry to his mouth and fucking suckles. After two seconds though, he bites on it, pretending it was an accidental brush of his teeth when it fact he knows exactly what he is doing: letting the berry juice drip down the corner of his mouth.
"Oops." He says after swallowing the berry with a quick swipe of this tongue. A thumb reaches up to clean the juice drip on his face and, of course, he sucks it clean then, letting go of it with an audible pop.
