Geralt's trying his fucking damnedest to be a good dad, and hopefully he'll succeed. He just wants his daughter to grow up safe and happy, with preferably as few men creeping on her as is physically possible. He can play a part in that by physically intimidating any man who tries to get weird with her, and also by taking her to her martial arts classes.

She has a mean right hook.

Jaskier mentions polo and, taking into account his whole... everything, to be honest, just everything that Geralt is seeing right in front of him, he assumes that this kid is some kind of money. Rich parents, probably, who had their kid take English riding lessons and maybe forced him to do showjumping or something. Well, if that is the case, the one good thing is that rich kids usually get good lessons.

"I don't let anyone take one of my horses by themselves until I know they can handle it," he says. "And no one goes up on the trails alone. For safety."

Buddy system, always. If something happens out on the trail, there needs to be someone else there to either help or get help, preferably someone who knows the land well. And, really, that person is generally Geralt himself-- he usually leads the group trail rides, but he doesn't often get singles. Most people also don't want to be out in the wilderness alone with Geralt.

Geralt tips his head towards the barn, indicating for Jaskier to follow him back down.

"If you've got time, I can show you around."
