#also if you don't think dandelion can perfectly recite some old elvish folktale written 400 years ago

I do like to think that Dandelion being so well versed in stories and rhymes and songverse and languages has aided Geralt on jobs before because Geralt will be complaining about some guy whose wife disappeared and all he has to go on are a bunch of feathers left in her room and Dandelion will go "oh like a crane wife!" and Geralt's like "what" so Dandelion tells him all about the crane wife trope in bardic tales and Geralt's like. Well goddamn I think you might be right

Sometimes solving a curse means asking a mage for help and other times you just gotta turn to your academic bardic bestie to learn about Sleeping Beauty and True Love's Kiss
