[ That it does. A Witcher's lifespan is long, but not endless. It can be cut short in an instant. To exist entirely without that threat...it wasn't unsettling, exactly, but it leaves him uncertain of what to think. He can't deny his only wish has been to be with his family, but he understood the reality that there were limits to that desire.
And then suddenly, there weren't.
He pulls his mug towards him. He expects so. Everything in his head is somewhat a jumble right now, but he imagines it'll sort itself out with time. Or so he hopes. Besides: ] Memories often do. I don't recall most of my childhood anymore.
[ Parts of it, yes. With his mother, in bits and pieces. During the Trials. Fleeing the destruction of his home, growing up with Vesemir. Some flashes are vivid imprints. Others...not so much. When the memories return to him, or when he has a reason to reach for them, they're often haphazard impressions more than a clear picture. It's always been this way for him.
In any case, he's. Fine. A part of him doesn't want to lend too much credence to what he considers a message or a prophecy sent by someone or some thing. Pouring your efforts into such things seldom lead anywhere good, and he is concerned that some of the Summoned might take to what they witnessed with ill-advised assumptions. ]
