[ After the previous year, Geralt has learned presents happen around this time for nearly everyone across multiple spheres. Dark winter days mean folk want something to look forward to, he supposes. He's spent a bit of time searching for gifts in return, not because he gives a shit about celebrations—whether Christmas or Yule or the Solstice—but because these are people important to him. Maybe he's growing sentimental in his old age. Who the fuck knows? He prefers not to think on it too deeply.
Besides. He'll have always gotten something for Ciri. What's one or two more? (Ironically—or perhaps as expected—his oldest friend will receive no present, though he will get one from Jaskier regardless. That's simply how it is between them.)
When Julie invites him, he slips her gift into a pocket and shows up at her door, letting himself in. The smell of fir is both familiar and odd to find in Cadens—and he peers at the brightly decorated tree for a moment before the neatly wrapped box lands in his hands. ]
I believe it is now. [ He smiles a little. He's apparently adopted Halloween. He can adopt Christmas. The date's only a bit off from Yule. Close enough.
He sets the box on the nearest surface, unwrapping the gold paper with some care. He's curious. What he'll find inside. ]
