Summary
Jaskier walks out from Posada expecting a month or two of high adventure. But a great deal of the life of an itinerant witcher is very similar to the life of a travelling bard: dusty, slow going, and unlikely to arrive anywhere good on any kind of a schedule. Maybe unlikely to ever arrive anywhere good, at all. Moreover, Geralt is never actually going to tell Jaskier when something exciting does turn up. Jaskier's coming to grips with it.
He's coming to grips, also, with the fact that while Geralt might be worth the wait--and the sprained ankles, and the boredom, and maybe even the curses and the very dark nights and the bloodstains on Jaskier's best doublet--Geralt is probably never going to wait for him. This is the part that's a difficult fit for a ballad.
