[Jaskier already has half of a long sentence written about Dimitri's carving skills when the invitation arrives and his fingers freeze, his mind entering panic mode. Thank the gods Geralt is out for his morning run with the dogs, because he'd surely ask why Jaskier is now pacing around the room, and he wouldn't know how the fuck to answer that question.
It's a simple invitation, a sweet gesture from a sweet bloke. Yet Jaskier just can't leave it at that. Staying at Dimitri's place would mean staying with Claude, aka the guy he used to sleep with. The arrangement is over, Geralt knows this, Claude knows this, there's nothing wrong with this, and it's not like Jaskier is about to start letting a boyfriend control his life, he's never been ashamed of his sexual life and he isn't about to start now, he expects to be trusted by his partner but also Geralt has issues that no ordinary person goes through and Jaskier is so bloody afraid of fucking up what they have and honestly why are relationships so hard?
Then there's Felix, who Jaskier supposes he's on neutral grounds with now, and it's not like they'll see each other a lot, right, Jaskier will be busy and out most of the day, and Geralt would probably enjoy some time with a friend, in fact he needs it, but there's no way cohabitation between bard and cat can go well... not to talk about the fact him and Geralt need a room for themselves for, ahem, reasons, and will those reasons bother the others? And since when does he care? He's taken lovers to lords' beds, for fuck's sake! And he and Geralt have stayed in small houses as well, cute little families that thanked them for their services by offering them a room, and that was never awkward, so why is he worrying about things getting awkward now, around their cute little polycule?
And he hasn't even touched on the matter of Kiri, but she of all people is probably the one he needs to worry about the least. Money isn't an issue either since he's gotten that magical coin attack on Limelight, but since when does he overthink accepting free shit? The fact this whole deal is bothering him in the first place irritates him even more! Who is he, what has he become.
Dimitri will notice the bubble with three dots that indicates the other person is typing staying up for a long, long moment. Jaskier writes like five different replies before he finally sends something that doesn't show his current inner turmoil, or at least, that's what he hopes.]
Dimitri, that's quite sweet of you but... are you sure that's a good idea? Is everyone there this month? Do they know about this invitation of yours?
sorry about the stream of consciousness
