» Horizon

Geralt is always reachable by the network. Unless it's an emergency, expect not to hear back for a few hours, if not a few days.

To talk to him in person, you'll need to be in Cadens or go to his domain, a snowy mountain fortress. Yard is open; doors are locked. If he isn't around, leave a delivery with the white wolf.

[John had been busy himself but he had not heard from Geralt the whole time he had been (almost literally) putting out fires and attempting to keep the peace amongst those trapped together with him here in this place. Not that he supposes he could not simply have been preoccupied, and yet. That does not seem entirely in character for him.]

Others in Thorne.

[ But he won't reject John's concern for him, either. ]

An attack struck the city.
We've retreated underground, as well.
I'm fine.

[As curt and to the point as always, although John supposes there will be time for longer, drawn out conversation and now is not that. He is glad to hear that Geralt is alright, although he worries he would be reticent to share if he weren’t, for his own protection. Not, he supposes, that he can do much about anything now.]

Yes. I promise.

Do those outside
Know you're trapped?

Be careful who you trust.

[ It doesn't necessitate saying, but he does, anyway. ]

If your situation changes,
tell me.

[ Geralt's response is seemingly curt, but perhaps John can sense the softness that might accompany the words were they in person. ]

Of course.

[ As promised, Geralt will inform John when they're released from the underground hideaway. ]
