All that amazing body, huh? Midge has long suspected that Jaskier is attracted to Geralt, and honestly, who could blame him? She wonders how deep the attraction goes though. It’s something to ask about, though definitely not right now.
“Now I’m imagining him with braided pigtails,” Midge says, then nods her approval at his shoes. “Those are nice. Are those to wear on the beach?”
"Not like that! Just one very tasteful braid, resting over his shoulder--" His rant finally calms down and he realizes Midge is kidding. "--that is pretty funny."
Her question makes him shrug. "I guess so." He'll wear them anyway.
On their way to the register, Jaskier picks up a hat, too. Once they've finally paid for everything, they leave with quite busy hands: one carrying their bags, the other with their arms linked. Jaskier wouldn't have it any other way.
"What do your children like anyway?" he asks as they look at the other shops.
“They’re nice shoes,” she continues. “Hopefully the sand and salt water won’t ruin them.”
Shops love to see them coming. They’re probably set for the weekend now. Maybe. Unless Midge sees something in one of the upscale boutiques along the way.
Midge blows air through her lips at that question. “Ethan likes Howdy Doody. Esther…” Midge hates feeling like she knows less about her daughter, but it’s true. “Maybe a baby doll? Kids appreciate anything you buy them.”
"That's not true at all," he says with a snort. "Esther, maybe, she's young enough not to understand much. But Ethan?" He shakes his head. "I hated it when father gifted me what was proper instead what I liked."
Of course, they discuss getting gifts for Geralt and the kids, yet they stop to look at the displays of the stores they like. Look at those cushions, aren't they lovely?
Those store windows are indeed pretty distracting. So many pretty and shiny things!
"Yennefer and I decorated the house we're living in now. Ciri helped a little. Geralt took over the garden and hated us all," he replies with clear amusement. "My suite in the university was decorated too, of course."
“You did?” she asks. “I figured the dark, medieval, witch theme of the house was mostly Yennefer.” Jaskier strikes her as the type of person to use more color in his decorating. “What’s your decor style?”

It’s hard to think about gifts for the kids when she keeps getting distracted by other things in store windows.
“Have you ever thought about decorating a house?” she asks. “The life you had where you came from seemed pretty nomadic.”
