My favorite TZP episode conflicts are the kind where Zeta isnt really in any danger, he’s just too polite to do anything about it until Ro is like ZETA HOLY SHIT DO SOMETHING??? And Zeta’s like ‘oh, you’re right. Sorry, you guys, but I don’t want to be handcuffed right now’
Wait wait it just occurred to me. Rience a) first saw Jaskier performing Burn Butcher Burn at the tavern with zero context, knew that he was mad at Geralt but didn’t know why b) never realized who Yennefer actually was (went to Kaer Morhen instead of following her) and c) saw her again at Melitele’s temple with Geralt
Conclusion: Rience 100% connected the dots himself/thought Jaskier and Geralt had a falling out because Geralt was sleeping with his wife. Essentially
