“I was really cute,” she confirms. “A little princess. I’m glad my parents never tried to have a painting done. Posing for photographs is annoying enough. I can’t imagine sitting still long enough for a painting, although I would make an alluring model, don’t you think?” Midge is joking, but Jaskier will probably agree with her anyway.
“I wish I could see a painting of little you. All the roaches you’ve met?” Midge gives him an unsettled look.
"You'd be a stunning model. You kept that drawing from the art jam, I hope."
He still has his, and he treasures it so. When she says she'd like to see those paintings, he wrinkles his nose. Would his parents even have them still? Maybe they were burned. He doesn't know how to feel about that.
"I told you about Geralt's horse Roach, right? Well, all his horses were named Roach. All brown mares, too. I've known Geralt for over twenty years, so I've seen many a Roach die or retire."
Immediately after I posted the tag I realized you were talking about Roach lol
“I did,” she confirms. “What? You weren’t a cute little boy?” Somehow they’ve circled back to his childhood again.
“Oh!” Midge laughs out loud. “Yes, you told me that. I thought you were talking about bugs and I was very curious why you were so sentimental about them.”
Talking about roaches is probably a better topic than Jaskier’s childhood.
it can't be a Witcher related thing without the classic gag, you did nothing wrong
"I was fucking adorable. It's just... you know." He shrugs, trying not to make it seem like it's not a big deal. "I wasn't really myself on those paintings."
He pulls a face and pokes her as 'punishment'. "Eww, that's bloody disgusting. There's only one bug I approve of, and that's butterflies. Ah, I guess spiders aren't so bad when they're eating the other bugs. Camping with mosquitoes isn't fun."
