[ His words don't exactly ring hollow, but Julie more than anyone how quickly things can go to complete shit, through no fault of one's own. She has somehow, miraculously, managed to stumble through everything to this point, but all that has done is fully cement the idea that survival is mostly luck. Pure, dumb luck. As much as she desperately wishes love was really enough to conquer all, that having people mean so much can save her, she knows it's not true.
Of course, none of that takes away from the soothing feeling she gets from his words. She knows it's dumb, that he is no more able to guarantee that than she is, but she trusts him so deeply that she believes it simply because he says it. She can't help it. She doesn't even really know why she feels like that, questions whether she should.
That's all something she can ignore for now, to just let herself be enveloped in that sense of security instead. The feeling has been fleeting for so long now, all she wants is a little bit of it. ]
I know. [ She agrees softly, running her fingers along his side. Her limbs feel heavy; her body is tired, but she knows that no matter how long she keeps her eyes shut, the noise she hears will remain too loud to let her do more than doze when her body gives out and forces her to rest. ] Do all Witchers sleep as little as you do? Or is that just like, a bad habit of yours?
