[But then Birdie is cutting off his rant and Jaskier can only huff. Impossible to say no to such a gentle, pretty face that wants to discuss music with him. At her question, he shakes his head.]
No, there isn't such instrument in my realm.
[As soon as she begins playing, he freezes. Because this time, his mind is filling with notes and lyrics: he knows this song. He's never heard it before, but he fucking knows it.
...it may not be the piano after all.
Jaskier takes a moment to catch his breath and very slowly take a seat next to Birdie on the bench. He's hesitant to put his hands on the keys, but soon he's playing with her, blue eyes fixated on his own fingers with a mix of awe and nerves.
Before he even notices, his mouth joins as well.]
♫ Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much too thrilling / Never before were mine so strangely willing ♫ [He sounds a bit stiff at first, but as soon as he catches on the meaning of the song, he pours all his heart into it.] ♫ But now I see, what one embrace can do / Look at me, it's got me loving you madly / That little kiss you stole / Held all my heart and soul ♫
[His hands are trembling a little, and he can't help worrying his lower lip for a moment before he finally whispers-] I never heard this song before either.
