Well, yes. [He says with a duh tone.] If it was scientific, it wouldn't be magic.

[Seriously! To be fair, many sorcerers in his own world also claim that chaos includes science. Jaskier has always thought they were full of shit, they never cared for the actual scientists in Oxenfurt and their texts were incompressible for anyone without access to even a spark of chaos.

But hey, socially awkward man is laughing, so Jaskier considers this conversation a great step toward getting to meet the locals. If "locals" applies here anyway.]

In short, you don't know what's up with these other powers either. [He winks, tone obviously teasing. Then he offers his hand.] Jaskier of Oxenfurt.
