It's like a date that Jaskier will have to pay for in the end, which is absolutely nothing like what a date should be.
So long as the musician stays out of the way and doesn't interrupt the things that Geralt needs to do, he doesn't see any particular reason to kick him from the property. He doesn't make other patrons leave immediately after their lessons; they're free to hang around with the same stipulations. Why not Jaskier?
"Long as you don't bother the horses, I don't care."
A little guitar-playing and some singing wouldn't bother the horses so long as he isn't doing it right next to them. But there are plenty of places for a lone musician to hole up-- paddocks full of meadowgrass to sit in, the hayloft, other little nooks and corners. He's pale, anyway, he could probably use a little sun exposure and fresh air.
And as far as his daughter is concerned... well, this city boy wouldn't be the first customer who's been around when she got home, she just usually stays up in the house, except perhaps to come down and say hello to Geralt. She'll be back late tonight, anyway, because she's got her martial arts practice and Eskel is going to drop her off afterwards.
Geralt pushes himself away from the fence. He has other things to do than stand around and watch Jaskier canter around on Pegasus. If he isn't going to get himself killed, than he can get back to business and just stop by every once in a while to make sure that he's all right.
"Got things to do. Don't do anything stupid."
And if, throughout the course of the day, he occasionally stops at the doors of the barn to look out at the outside arena while Jaskier's riding, well, it's just to make sure he's still all right. Safety, and all that.
