(( I might pretty this up later, but for now: It's Millennial Tree Cookie's inbox!! He's not great at typing, bear with him. ))

[He supposes he's not in a position to say anything about how romantic the ocean is or is not, so, instead:] We have spoken! On the network, the, ah, post for giving opinions on each others' appearances?
[The Hot or Not post. He's talking about the Hot or Not post.]
no subject
Well then! If it's only awkwardness then that's just a matter of them getting to know you better.
[And suddenly Jaskier laughs, bright and pleased. His game has been successful, oh what glorious news! But it was posted anon, so he can't express it like that.]
Ah yes, I remember that post. Such an eventful Valentine's eve for everyone it was. [And by "everyone" here he means "he and Geralt" mostly.] So he expressed interest in the past and when the auction came up, he saw the chance and took it! Oh, the story writes itself! And what are your thoughts on him? Does an ancient tree find a human elder attractive in any way?

As for Jaskier's question, though... the first part of the answer comes easily enough, at least:] I have certainly enjoyed speaking to him so far! That said, I don't know if I can answer the question of attraction so clearly... I don't know that I would know how to recognize it.
[It's not something he's really worried about, but it does mean he can't exactly give a clear answer with regards to his feelings toward Ford.]

[Give him a second, he's trying to wrap his brain about the whole thing. He may be a master of words, but even while describing things like love and romance, he's done it for other humans that have experienced society norms. The metaphors would use familiar terms and sensations. How do you explain this to a tree?
No. Wait. It's not just a plant issue, is it?]
Do cookies do romance? Do I want to know how cookies are born? Is your perspective on the subject coming from a plant life perspective or a pastry perspective? Did you already have to go through this conundrum when you went from tree to cookie?
no subject
My perspective is... likely more affected by my being a tree. It hasn't come up before now; I had no reason to think of such things in my time as a Cookie.

[Of course, reproduction and romance don't always need to go hand in hand, but it's usually a good spot to start digging into a culture's mating habits which eventually take you to dating.]
I see, that does make sense. I suppose for you to recognize it would be a matter of comparing your thoughts about him against how you feel about other friends - mayhap in the future, after you've gone on a proper date and see what it entails. Ah, if it happens at all for you, of course! I do not know how much this human body will affect your tree perspective. How the mind and the flesh interconnect -and I believe they do, no matter what some scholars say!- continues to be a complex mystery not even us humans fully understand.
no subject
[Don't... don't worry about that too much.]
I see... I will have to pay attention, then. [He's curious, certainly, about how his relationship with Ford will or will not grow to be different from those with his other friends here. He can't be sure, just yet - but he's happy to wait and see.]
