He thinks the whole deal is just a teen being a teen, but then Yennefer jumps in and approves of the idea. Jaskier worries his lower lip for a second, trying to get a good read of Geralt's reaction and how much Cirilla truly means it. Teasing your dad is one thing, having one of your favorite singers being all buddy with him and even become his personal stylist is another one - he doesn't want her to feel weird, uncomfortable. Then again, it's a little late for that, isn't it? They've fucking cuddled. She just doesn't know about it.
...or knows at least part of the story, apparently. She's unfazed by her dad being friends with him, if anything, she seems to be eager to take advantage of it. Well then, Jaskier thinks as he takes a sip of his drink for some liquid courage, here goes nothing.
"I actually wouldn't mind - I like playing stylist. And Yennefer is right, you need a better wardrobe! A shopping trip is in order, Geralt."
He slips into his gotta-push-Geralt-into-doing-things bossy side without meaning to, but it seems the ladies don't mind. In fact, judging by Ciri's grin and Yen's knowing look, they both approve. Big time. The waitress arrives then with Geralt's drink and menus for everyone, Jaskier waits until he's gone to answer Cirilla's question.
"As you probably already know from all my retweets, Pride is next weekend, and your mother and I will be helping out. Both of us are involved with many organizations, and we've confirmed I'll even get to perform!" He explains as he glances at the menu he takes from the pile. But soon blue eyes are quickly moving from face to face around the table, his whole body vibrating with excitement. "It would mean a lot to me if you'd come! Because it shows support for the cause AND my art, aaaaand it's also my--"
Cirilla gasps. "Right! It is your birthday!"
Jaskier has to laugh - it's flattering, honestly. "You'd be correct, little lady." She perks up at that, liking the nickname. "It's my birthday, so you'd be celebrating with me. It'll be lots of fun." He pauses as his eyes stay on Geralt this time. "My buddies will take me to a bar afterward, all friends of mine are invited."
It takes him a second to realize he's staring, so he clears his voice and nods at Yennefer to show she's included in that invitation as well. But it's pretty damn clear who is the person he wants to show up the most...
