anyway jaskier is like. basically the human equivalent of those wild animals someone feeds who’ve lost all fear of people and now just break into houses to eat out of the trash and chill in the pool
he’s been travelling with a witcher since he was 18. he has zero fear of any of them. he associates witchers with Having Things Done For Him and Being Provided For and Give Love. he has no reservations whatsoever about going up to any random witcher he happens to pass when geralt isn’t around and asking them to help him with something or do something for him or just. trailing after them for a while because he knows if he whines perfectly on pitch they’ll hunt his dinner and store his shit in their horse’s saddlebags and keep him safe on the road, even if they’re grumpy about it. at kaer morhen he is like the stray cat geralt fed one time and now everyone is just like “well he lives here now i guess”. it just Does Not Occur to him that he might ever be in danger with a witcher around. this is a man who finds things lying around in the kaer morhen lab and just fucking. eats them
anyway. those “please do not feed the animals it teaches them to approach people” signs but. for jaskier and the oxenfurt students who start trying to imitate him and adopt a witcher
