"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."
Midge cocks her head. “I guess the house fits your style. I would have expected more color, but I guess you had to compromise.” It’s a pretty luxurious house considering that they aren’t wealthy. “Is there anything that you would change or do if you had free rein?”
"Oooh yeah, lots of arguments and compromise. It was a miracle that Geralt didn't kill us all." He thinks about her question for a second. "You already mentioned more color sooo... More art on the walls. Bigger bookshelves. My own studio."
Maybe a sex room? He isn't into dungeon stuff, so he isn't sure if he could pull off one.
At that moment, he discovers a woodcraft store in the corner. They have furniture and tools for woodworking, obviously, but also lots of smaller things: cutting boards, bowls, wine and cake stoppers, keychains, magnets, and all kinds of ornaments. Including animal figurines.
"Look at these, they are cute! Would your kids like them? I can try finding a horse for Geralt."
The woodcraft store has a lot of options for toys. Surely she’ll be able to find something in here for her kids.
“It is bad that I’m not totally sure what their favorite animals are?” she asks. “Let me see if I can remember what they liked the last time we went to the zoo.”
since they talked a lot off-screen I assume Midge mentioned Zelda but if not I can change it
Is it bad? ...well, yes. But Jaskier doesn't dare to say it. It's at moments like when he realizes he's being a bit hypocritical about the whole deal. He complains about the way his family treated him, about wealthy families in general having kids out of obligation and not paying attention to them. He should encourage Midge to be a better mom...
Yet he so desperately wants to save her from that life.
"Would Zelda know? You could send her a text," he says while dragging Midge inside.

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.”
