      Jaskier - I am talking to you ,this is how this works .
      Geralt - I need your help.
      Jaskier - .............FINE.
      When I first saw this I thought it was silly dialogue writing .Jaskier says fine ,forgets all the times Geralt hurt him but now I find this scene more touching and actually I find it funny because I realise that they really think of each other as friends .
      It didn't seem much from the first season I think but now it's clear that they actually like being friends .
      Hopefully Jaskier will hear some lion name in the future and will call himself master .........Dandelion 😆.

      @@evakaname I mean you’re not wrong, but…. I think he went to Jaskier for multiple reasons. Yes, he was the last person that talked to Yen and therefore the only person Geralt knows who might have a clue what she’s up to. I also think he just wanted to make sure the bard was safe. Not only to protect Ciri if others came for the same information but because he was genuinely worried about Jaskier and realized his friend was getting dragged into a mess not of his own making (technically). Just full papa-bear mode. There’s clearly guilt for what went down on the mountain, of course. I think the biggest thing, though, is Jaskier is the one character (outside of maybe Tessia) who sees Yennefer for everything she is. And he’s willing to tell Geralt that truth to his face. Geralt needs Jaskier to be a barometer for him because he knows he can’t always trust himself where Yen’s involved.

    A great bit about their friendship in the books is when Yen is speaking with Jaskier.
    She makes it clear she really doesn't like him. But thanks him nonetheless. She explains that he is what helped Geralt come back even a little bit to being human. That him having a single friend he could always count on was something she would be eternally grateful for.

    It's Jaskier's unashamed rawness while simultaneously displaying some healthy self-respect - & his ultimate willingness to forgive, while leaving Geralt in no confusion that _it is not unconditional_ - for me. Also Geralt showing growth too - all that time as a Dad having helped him begin to defrost & soften up, so that he's actually able to _be the first to admit vulnerability_ , as a good faith offering to the man he _knows_ he wronged.
    While at the same time they both remain recognisable as being fundamentally still the same ppl; Jaskier is still a sweetheart, but he's not _weak_ anymore, & Geralt is still a badass, but he's nowhere near as toxic.

    I can completely relate to this scene, its almost scary. My friend and I had a massive meltdown at each other around this time last year. We blocked each other and didn't speak to one another for about 8 months. I'm more of a Geralt type, not wanting to share my feelings and get cross very easily when people try to delve while my friend is the sensitive Jaskier type. The apology pretty much went the same way, few yet sincere words by me and my friend rightfully irritated and sharing her feelings with me. We've haven't fought since and I try to be a bit more open even if I can't all the time I at least try to communicate better. Compromise goes both ways, loved this scene.

      @@BlackKiryuu Look in Geralt's defense, he had much more on his plate than a long winded apology. I think its also understandable that Geralt is used to a life alone, taught to suppress his emotions, and that being close to people gets either them or him killed. The fact that he even begged for help knowing he asks literally no one for help and admitted he missed Jaskier is a milestone in his character. Sometimes people require more patience to grow, its up to those that give that patience whether or not they are able to give that. Yes, i have my own apologies even if they were more brief than hers. I struggle with explaining myself and being in touch with my own emotions other than my rage and i wasn't at the level of torment that Geralt went through. Sometimes trying is enough for people to give their friends another chance. People don't change over night, mistakes happen.

Geralt in contrast is not trying at all. That is what I wanted to emphasize: Geralt is not putting any effort in changing the pattern that leads him to treat Jaskier badly. He is continuing like he did before the mountain. There is no change in him. Is it really that hard to cut back the insults, to not give rude side eyes at Jaskier, not belittling him at every moment, just saying a sincere "thanks" once in a while?
      Geralt got all teary eyed when Yennefer appeared, got all emotional and visibly relieved that she was well but towards Jaskier there was just indifference and annoyance. As always.

      @@BlackKiryuu I disagree, perhaps you have a hard time with subtle gestures. To me, Geralt did seem remorseful of his actions. Compared to season one, Geralt would not have stood there and took everything Jaskier was saying from the heart when he had things off his chest to say to Geralt. He stood after Jaskier made it clear "no you listen to me now" and Geralt listened even despite him wanting to avoid it. Friends sometimes have a level of understanding when someone is trying to do right and sometimes to other people that might not be enough. You're definition of friendship and conditions to that friendship might be a great deal different than someone else's. If Jaskier felt like Geralt was hurting him, there is nothing holding Jaskier back from leaving. People have different requirements for friends, what seems like a friend to you may not seem like one to another. I know for myself, I can be quite the shit friend at times especially when i get overwhelmed with anger. However I have friends in my life who understand I have a hard time with my anger and know when I snap its not intentional. It took me five years to handle my anger and even today i still slip, especially since i used to isolate myself and aggressively push people out of my life. I am thankful to my friends who stand by me despite how ugly i can be unintentionally because they know i try. No one but Jaskier knows if Geralt's trying, thats good enough for me.

    I was hoping jaskier wouldn’t forgive him this easily because Geralt was really out of line when he snapped at him

      Honestly, I think that's what makes it realistic. When you're really close with someone, especially someone you consider family/kin...you can have the worst fights and be hunky dory in 3-5 business days. That's how it is with my siblings and kin lol

      @@AlizEdits27 I actually think it wasn’t that simple. I can tell from Geralt’s body language and the way he talks that he does regret how he treated Jaskier, but at the time he said what he did, he was hurting really bad. I don’t think Geralt feels it excuses him at all though. For all we know, he might have gone so long without talking to Jaskier because he was ashamed and didn’t know how to say it. It might be why Geralt didn’t make any real complaints about Jaskier’s antics this season. That and he knows he can count on Jaskier.

    Their friendship is everything in this show! also I love how Jasker is portrayed in the beginning as a whiny, overdramatic performer who is kinda cowardly, but he is clearly loyal and brave when it comes to his friends. Also dont mess with his music he will throw a bucket load of sass and insults your way😂

    I just love how in 1:20, Geralt's face is like "Get away from my wife!" Yes, I am a proud Geraskier fan.

    I think it's kinda sad how Geralt only got Jaskier out of jail to get the information about Yennifer and after that Jaskier is again just that guy who follows Geralt around with anyone either ignoring him or being annoyed by him. There is no appreciation shown neither from Geralt nor anybody else, which doesnt really make sense to me from a character arc point of view.
    Like imagine instead of what happened in the show, Jaskier would have sung "Burn, Butcher, Burn" in the prison cell and Geralt would have heard it while waiting to ambush the guard and then Geralt would really think about it and start really care about Jaskier and be like an actual friend to him.

    Jaskier just makes the show for me, he really does. That bro hug was the most beautiful thing I've seen all series. I love how Jaskier's still pissed at the treatment he received the last time they met, but he hugs Geralt anyway. THAT is friendship.
    "Sing another word and I'll cut your tongue out!"
    Jaskier: "hmmm...don't care"
