Gentlerat. [ She tries to keep a straight face as she corrects him. And now she's picturing Bean dressed as a gentleman in a tiny suit. Is there any outfit Bean can't pull off? Probably not.
Maybe it's just her reading too much into things, but it sounds a lot like when Jaskier speaks of the "gentleman" needing conversation to prevent madness, he's actually referring to himself. And it brings her back to memories of the orphanage, when she was confined to a bed, formerly quadriplegic (you read right), with no one to talk to before her one and only friend Diego showed up. She'd spend every waking hour alone with her thoughts, trying to make light of the situation she was in because if she didn't laugh about it, she'd cry - which as a result, makes it hard for her to take anything seriously. She spoke to herself because she had no one else, which meant she had an overpowering internal monologue that still exists today.
Maybe my brain rotted and I'm crazy, she thinks darkly.
But at least you're a badass with superpowers, her positive side pipes up. ]
We're all mad here, right? [ She quotes the Cheshire Cat, figuring anyone would understand that reference. ]
Does the gentleman have a name? [ And before he thinks she's referring to Bean - ] You, my dude.
