"I never called them malicious," he quickly points out. "This is what I just explained to you! Just because someone doesn't mean it, it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt! Have you not noticed all the inner shame you daily struggle with? You can't seriously tell me their comments don't affect you! And you've told me how tired you are of having to explain yourself to them!"
“Jaskier, what am I supposed to do about them?” she asks in frustration. “I can’t control or change the way that they think! I’m not going to cut them off either. The only option I have is to deal with them.”
They’re her parents and she loves them, even if they drive her insane sometimes. This isn’t like Jaskier’s parents, nor does she plan to take the same solution that Jaskier did. Her parents are not going to change and she’s not going to stop speaking to them. So, here she is.
"I'm not asking you to cut them off!" Here comes all the dramatic hand gesturing. "I just want them to fucking understand that their comments aren't harmless! I fucking bet you never told them, not in so many words."
