The first witcher Jaskier met besides Geralt was Aiden, a member of the Cat School, who had been hired to assassinate him.
Technically speaking, Aiden's contract was to eliminate the Viscount of Lettenhove, but he was taken aback to discover that the target was actually the same Bard who sings about the witcher he'd heard so much about.
Instead of fulfilling his contract, Aiden and Jaskier found themselves sharing a rather pleasant picnic.
Geralt, unaware of this turn of events, is frantically searching for the Cat witcher who he believes is out to kill his Bard.
At the same time, Lambert, having heard that his fellow witcher is intent on hunting down his dear friend, is racing to find Geralt to prevent him from killing Aiden.
How it's going!! They are a family and I am!!! also draw the hug you want to see in the show but they are forgiven because them meeting in brokilon was still soooo tender my HEART-
Radovid: So, you and Jaskier have been friends for years, huh? Sorry if this is a weird question, but maybe you could give me some advice? I'm new to this entire relationship thing
Geralt, who is still traumatized from Burn Butcher Burn: Just be nice to him
something i can appreciate about the witcher is that the world of it is authentically grimy. Geralt is always streaked with viscera. Jaskier's hair is always greasy. Villages are always muddy. Even the elves are fucking filthy. Everyone except Yennefer who is serving medieval fantasy cunt 24x7
For those who haven't read The Witcher, I feel the need to tell you some things...
Ciri was something around 10, I think, when she met Geralt, and was a terrible brat.
One of the first times Geralt met Ciri, he gave her a piggy back ride because she hurt her leg.
He told her a bed time story because she asked him to.
Geralt is a sarcastic bastard, especially with Ciri.
Ciri led Geralt by the hand when he had to be blindfolded while walking through Brokilon forest by the Dryads.
Ciri would cling to Geralt's thigh when she was frightened.
Geralt would cuddle Ciri so that she could fall asleep, and she would reach out to him as she slept.
There were hugs, and I think all of them were initiated by Geralt himself because he could see that Ciri was frightened or he was just very happy to see her.
Jaskier had always been a musical prodigy, able to master any instrument within an hour. As a child in Lettenhove, his parents often paraded him around to showcase his talents. Though Jaskier enjoyed performing, he resented his parents' attempts to leverage his talent for marriage prospects.
In Oxenfurt, Jaskier's teachers adored him. But he grew tired of playing the same old songs, craving creative freedom. Jaskier excelled in all subjects, not just music, and he disliked being exploited for others' gain.
Given these dynamics, many were surprised and disappointed when Jaskier became a wandering bard.
But Geralt was different. He had no agenda, allowing Jaskier to play as he pleased. This lack of pressure made Jaskier's music enjoyable again, and singing for Geralt became a pleasure.
