Hectic doesn't even start to describe Jaskier's week. There's so much to do! Rehearsal, organizing and planning, promotion, choosing the right songs, the right clothes, the decorations for the stage, keeping up with social media, uploading a new video, blocking bigots, communication with organizations and sponsors... It's crazy, and Jaskier almost drives himself mad with all the work. Luckily for him, he gets help in the form of a surprise visit in the middle of the week.
And that surprise visit is now approaching father and daughter to stand next to them in the venue, a grin on her face that Geralt may find familiar.
"But if it isn't the famous Geralt Rivia," an English accent comments. "I've been wondering if I'd get to meet you today. Jas is going to be ecstatic."
Elizabeth Petra Pankratz shows up a lot in Jaskier's social media, so most fans easily recognize her from there - or in Geralt's case, from Jaskier's phone wallpaper. She's a couple of inches shorter than her brother, and while most of her facial features don't make her look very alike to him, two things definitely are the same: the smile, and the bright blue Pankratz eyes. Another thing they have in common is a good sense of style: for Pride, she's wearing a rainbow skirt with a white blouse plus comfortable sandals to walk in. Her long blond hair is up in braids, a purse hangs on her shoulder, and in her hands she's carrying a sign. On one side of it, there's a rainbow heart that says "free sister hugs". On the other side, some simple words in black: As Jesus said about gay people: " ". Yes, the blank is on purpose.
One perfectly manicured hand lets go of said sign, though, to be extended towards Geralt for shaking.
"My name is Elizabeth. I'm--"
"You're Jaskier's sister!" Ciri cuts in, excited to show more of her famous singer knowledge.
"Correct!" Lizzie replies with a laugh. "And you must be Cirilla. I've heard a lot about you two." The glint in those blue eyes Geralt perhaps also may recognize: it's the one that says this Pankratz is being nice and friendly for now as a way to lure you in under a sense of security, but soon she'll strike. "Having fun so far? Jas said this is your first Pride."
