#but 'running away' is the thing that really makes arnaghad angry and- things exploded

[spielzeugkaiser]

What /exactly/ happened to Jaskier's eye? Was it cut? Scratched? How did he get the blow for Ciri?

I'm not completely sure about it, because I didn't plan that out in detail. It was a knife (which means deeper, but also a cleaner wound), and it was Ciri who got in an argument with Arnaghad (maybe it was about Jaskiers treatment? Maybe he said something to her and she reacted snappish? I think Ciri feels a bit claustrophobic and the emotions run very high after a few weeks of this - so she has a very short fuse too)

Since Arnaghad wanted to give that brat a lesson and Jaskier knows what that means, he got inbetween and it escalated. He saw the blade coming, so it wasn't too bad, but. I think he might have just. grabbed Ciri and tried to get out. Which made Arnaghad even angrier, but keeps saving his life too, because he is faster and eventually the situation deescalates.

#Arnaghad might have 'just' punched Ciri but Jaskier will not have that #not AT ALL #Jaskier getting in between there lifted that whole stuff to the next level because he openly opposed him?? #but 'running away' is the thing that really makes arnaghad angry and- things exploded #thank you for the ask!! #boopymooplier #that was fun! #this AU is so big already I'll never be able to draw it all out.
