[Jaskier claps Gokudera on the shoulder like they go way back, his grin even wider now that Gokudera has accepted the partnership. At least, he's more or less done so to Jaskier. He goes from stranger to best friend very quickly, and makes no apologies for it.]
I could tell right away that you were a reasonable fellow with a good head on your shoulders. Trust me. You'll be the most requested piano player in this entire city in no time.
[One would perhaps be correct in assuming that Gokudera is not quite as invested in making a living as a musician as Jaskier is currently painting him to be if they were listening to the level of enthusiasm from Gokudera relative to Jaskier. But to some extent, Jaskier needs this arrangement to be mutually beneficial. Otherwise, it's just Jaskier getting a few local bars to play at regularly until he catches the eyes and/or ears of the right people, and Gokudera gets nothing particular out of the deal, and that simply feels unfair. Plus, it would perhaps make it all the more tempting for Gokudera to back out at some point prematurely before the aforementioned catching. Jaskier simply cannot have any of that.]
And of course, if you've any compositions of your own, I'd be honored to play them.
[Maybe not exactly as they are written and with his own particular brand of flair to them, but still.]
