I really don't know. I think it honestly just didn't occur to him? Mentally, he was a mess when he first got here. He'd just come off of five years of impotent rage over a succession of pretty awful betrayals, basically hiding alone in the woods stewing in hate. And then he got here and decided he was in the afterlife, somehow? Which really gives you an idea how stable he was. Add to that his being disturbingly strong back home - he used to just shatter weapons regularly - and some of that still carrying over to here, and I guess he just thought picking up a deer and carrying it was the straightforward thing to do. Maybe he forgot PokéBalls were even a thing at the time. Who knows! I'm just glad he's improved a lot since then.
[And then Jaskier calls Dimitri Claude's husband, and Claude feels a bit like he's been sucker-punched. Ah. He's sure this is revenge for the prodding he's done about Geralt, but he wonders if Jaskier knows how appropriate a revenge it is.]
Ah, easy with the wishful thinking, he's interested in someone else. And I'm sure he'll allow it, although he might fuss. [Claude has no idea how much he'll fuss yet, but that will be a cute surprise for everyone later.
He just hopes his casual deflection of Jaskier's teasing was, well...casual enough.]
