Fine things to remember, if you must forget so much.
[It's too presumptuous to ask why, or to assume it is indeed a sad thing. Many wish to forget their pasts, and Jaskier knows men old enough to forget such things simply from the passage of time. She sounds wistful though, to him -- to remember such things as her parents and the snows.
Ah, a beautiful, mysterious woman, with an unknown past even to herself... please. The ballads write themselves.
It's more than that, though. Jaskier has wanted to know nearly every person he's met, and she is no exception.] Ah, the sirens were glorious! When they weren't trying to kill you and sink your ship, of course. But -- well, a busy market is hardly the place for such things, but know I would love to hear the stories of your ice queens. As I've said, I'm a bard, and stories are my one true love. I could spend a life time hearing ones from every sphere.
[Stories and beautiful, mysterious women.]
If you are ever in the Free Cities, you should come watch me perform. But if you are not allowed the trip, then... well, know this, Lady Warwick: I personally believe preserving our memories is one of the most important things we can do, especially when they are so prone to being lost. If you would ever like those memories immortalized in song, then I should be happy to do it for you. [He pauses.] I'm a very good bard, if that helps.
[The best, actually, but he's learning to be humble.]
