"It's mine?" Jaskier asks with raised eyebrows, his lips curling a little bit even - not a full smile yet, but they're getting there. One of the issues is that it hadn't been truly his after all. "I want whatever keepsake I can get from our travels together, and this is the only one I have from our first meeting. The lute doesn't count, it came later and is a memory of meeting the elves."
Although the lute does count as a keepsake of the moment his heart started falling for Geralt, he supposes. And yeah, he can't argue with Geralt's logic: objects can have the meaning one gives to them, they represent the idea behind the memory. In any other context, Jaskier would be reciting poetry about the concept. Now, though, it continues to bother him. Perhaps it's because he hadn't kept it as a keepsake at first - he just grabbed it like he grabs any other coin given by his audience. Geralt giving it to him is what makes it special... would it hurt the witcher to bring that meaning back?
Then again, Geralt calling yours is pretty intense for his talking standards. With a sigh and a nod, he puts the coin back in the lute case, then approaches his lover to grab half of his things from his arms. That way they both have a free hand, which obviously means Jaskier chooses to hand-hold their way to the library.
Does that mean he will still silent and drop the matter? Of course not, it's Jaskier.
"Isn't it an important memory for you as well?" The question is out of lips as soon as they give three steps out of the room. "Meeting you changed my life, Geralt. There's a before and an after Posada in my story."
