[So on the bright side Grant is saved the trouble of deciding how to sidestep the subject of Jaskier, or if he should just not say anything at all!
On the... less-bright side, now he's got to figure out what to do, uh... here.
It's no surprise that Shiro doesn't exactly jump on the opportunity; frankly, if he had, Grant would wonder if this was one of those transforming Pokemon imitating him. And Grant's second thought (the first being "oh no") is also to try and give his friend as easy an out as possible.
But there's... definitely still a part of his stupid idiot heart that stings a little, irrationally, at the speed with which Shiro suggests they just ignore the plant. Probably because Grant is a hypocrite, he's pretty sure.
He wonders if that hesitation shows on his face. He's not sure whether he hopes it does or not. Sure, the prospect of Shiro figuring out how Grant feels about him like this is kinda terrifying, but there is something appealing about the thought of that choice being taken out of his hands, so it can just be... out there. Without him having to decide to take the leap and say it.]

We... we can. If you'd rather.
