[ Once he has left the item (it is not a gift; it's just something he wants Jaskier to have), Geralt says nothing of it. He's on his way home now, to determine what he wants to do next where that cave is concerned.
Revisit it, he thinks, for certain. Leaving it there now that he knows it exists leaves him uneasy. If something were to happen...
He's resting in the shade of another cavern during the afternoon sun when Jaskier's message arrives. Geralt chews on some bean pods picked off a tree and dried meat he packed along, the weather too hot to bother hunting for a meal until nightfall. Jaskier, too, says nothing directly of the lantern. But he knows exactly what his friend means.

How in the fuck does a moogle learn to weave new spells? I only taught him one Sign.
[ Moglad is evolving a bit past what Geralt intended when he started training that creature. He's seen it lift its sword and summon its spiky armor. It's Jaskier's doing, of course—the creature and Jaskier are connected—but nonetheless. The fact that Moglad speaks to him, even when Jaskier is not present, makes it difficult to remember that it is not really a sentient creature but a creation of the Horizon like everything else. ]
