Chapter 2: Chapter Two!

Jaskier learns knew things every winter he boards with his witchers. Each year the wolves let him a little further in.

He learned that Lambert quite enjoys spices but can't handle heat. Jaskier introduced them all to cinnamon sugar on buttered bread and Lambert loves it. Geralt smells it and acts like he's suffocating and Eskel takes one bite and cries.

Jaskier soon teaches Lambert how to bake with the different spices he brings and how to harvest them from the plants when they grow. Lambert is so happy because he has a big horde of food by the end of winter. And he gets to take the good food with him on the Path.

Jaskier learns that Eskel does in fact have a very nicely sewn stuffed bear that he keeps hidden in one of the keeps towers. He sewed it from scraps of old clothes and a few pieces of silk he acquired on the Path. He stuffed it with strips of old shirts. He shows Jaskier one day because "I know the others wouldn't say anything for my sake but you... you will tell me what you think."

And Jaskier just kisses his precious forehead and says "it is so amazing! You did such a good job. I bet it's so nice to cuddle up to a snuggly. I love it and I think it's wonderful, darling." Eskel just bathed in the praise. He smiled and nuzzles into his bear and says "thanks"

All three of them let Jaskier bathe them at this point because it's not worth the argument.

Jaskier usually sits on the side of the hot spring with his legs spread wide and his feet in the water so the boys can lay back against his thighs and stomach while he washes their hair and face and massages their shoulders. But one day Geralt decides to instead of sitting on his butt facing away from Jaskier, he decides that he wants to sit on his knees and shove his face in Jaskier's stomach and wrap his arms around the bards waist.

"Aw I can't get to your pretty face. That's alright I suppose. Do you need anything, my sweet honey pie?" Geralt just grunts back and squeezes Jaskier a bit and relaxes like jello.

(Vesmir bonus)

Jaskier brings the eldest Witcher things like rare plant seeds to recipes from his home to the thickest woolen blankets he can find. Vesmir always acts so humble and almost refuses to accept but really he's so happy to hear that the bars will be arriving. Jaskier might spoil the elderly man a bit.
