You're unusual. [ He sits back, returning his sights to the ocean and the few boats bobbing in the water. ] And you've met Jaskier. Does he know you talk?
[ Probably. Though it's hard to say. The bard would be willing to speak to anyone and anything, and introduce himself on top of that. Sing it a few songs. ]
no subject
[Jaskier knows Mogget talks, and Mogget knows how much Jaskier likes to talk. He is relatively fond of the bard these days though, in as much as Mogget is ever really 'fond' of anyone.
But now this man knows that he talks as well, and he doesn't react with the surprise that Mogget is used to receiving when people discover this fact. That alone is enough to make the cat curious about him in turn.]
We arrived in the same group, and have crossed paths a number of times since.
no subject
Funny. Jaskier hasn't mentioned a talking cat. Of all the inane things Jaskier does tell him, like the fucking color of his new handkerchief, it's a talking cat that he leaves out. Typical.
Though that the cat implies that he's only met Jaskier in this form both answers and raises more questions. ]
You prefer to be a cat?
no subject
[Now, that is something that he's used to seeing assumed about him. He supposes he could be a little insulted that Jaskier had never mentioned him to this man given his first hand experience of just how much the man likes to chatter, but he doesn't know how close they are.
Mogget swishes his tail slowly across the floor, back and forth, and turns his attention out to the water.]
I am a cat. What I would prefer to be is irrelevant.
no subject
I suppose that's true for all of us.
[ Especially here, changed as they are whether any of them want it or not. Geralt has accepted his transformation—has even found reason to lean into it, here and there—but he won't say it's been a pleasure. ]
no subject
Indeed.
[And the cat falls silent for a while, his small body marble-still and eyes unblinkly fixed on the water. Occasionally, when something disturbs the surface, his attention shifts to it almost imperceptibly.]
You're one of his bonds, are you not.
no subject
Only when the cat asks him a question does he look over. ]
Mm. Few months shy of a year. [ He's settled into it with less trouble than he'd thought. ] We knew each other from home.
[ Or, well. Friends, as other people would put it. ]
no subject
[He doesn't know if the man considers that to be lucky or not, so he chooses not to pass comment on the fact. That they are bonded now means little to him in terms of how close they might be - Mogget sees bonds as nothing more than a business arrangement.]
Does he talk this much there, too? [Is he going to drag Jaskier? Yes, he absolutely is.]
no subject
[ If Geralt sounds like he's said a similar phrase before, it's because he has, and the reply comes automatically even as he knows that isn't true: Jaskier has grown quieter as of late, ever since the kidnapping.
It's not something they've talked about. He's mostly just stayed close by, unspoken.
As the waves lap at the rocks below the docks, the sun begins to sink. Jaskier could use company, human or feline. It'd do him good, even as aloof as the cat seems to be. But the fact that he appears familiar with Jaskier beyond a singular meeting tells him enough. ]
If you come by some time, I don't doubt he'll have a fish for you.
no subject
[For all he knows, Jaskier is a perfectly acceptable singer. In fact, he probably is. But cats have an entirely different view of what constitutes good singing and while Mogget is not entirely a cat, he is certainly enough of one to have peculiar ideas about certain things.
But this is nice. Peaceful. He twitches the tip of his tail as they sit there and the shadows begin to lengthen against the setting sun.]
I'll take that as an open invitation.
