The plague of 1221

Summary:

“How old are you?” He knew the bard was young, but just how young was he?

Notes:

Just an idea that came to me, per the usual. Enjoy!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

The bard and the witcher sat in silence, the only sounds were those of the forest around them.

“Jaskier?” The witcher spoke. 

“Yes?” He responded, absent-mindedly plucking his lute. 

“How old are you?” He knew the bard was young, but just how young was he? 

“Eighteen, I turn nineteen in a few months, why?”

“What year were you born?”

“1222, again, why?”

Geralt only chuckled, “You're a plague baby.”

“W-what does that even mean?!” Jaskier exclaimed. 

“Your parents had to entertain themselves during the plague somehow.”

“Oh gods, Geralt! I didn't need that image of my parents in my head!”

Notes:

I may have done my math wrong but oh well! If the show takes place in 1262, and Jaskier is 40 currently that means he was born in 1222. And the werewolf (I forget his name) said the plague was in 1221. So....Jask is a plague baby!
Hope you enjoyed, till next time.
