» 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.

You think I hadn't asked already? She's tried. We did a little. I'm just... magic is not my thing.

Funny thought, though. We started with fire. Figured it'd be helpful if we ever got stuck in a pit with lizards to roast.

[gynvael]

You'll get better.
And if not, perhaps she can build you a home in one of your...
...holes.

[ofthesword]

Thanks for the vote of confidence, grandpa.

Look, the holes were for the sauna. Not anything weird.

[gynvael]

A sauna?
Preparing for the winter already?

[ofthesword]

Not just for the cold! I guess. It was somethin' I thought of making. Himeka, Wanda and I moved out of the main settlement. After... well, you know. Didn't feel like I could trust the people there.

So now we're livin' out in a big tree we grew. By a lake. Pretty view. I'll show you sometime, maybe.

I figured it needed some amenities. Like an underground sauna. Never had one myself.

[gynvael]

Fair decision.
You sound as though you've made a home.

[ Previously, they were living on someone else's land, were they not? So...this is a development. ]

[ofthesword]

[Aw, is Geralt gettin' soft on him?

Nero huffs through his nose. But... yeah.]

As much as you can out of a tree. S'nice tree, you know. As far as trees go.

[He's not exactly got a lot of knowledge about trees.]

Better than someone else's farm. Though we totally stole their goat. He's a bastard, but a pretty good guard dog.

[gynvael]

A goat?
You've finally made a friend
with a head as hard as yours.

[ Perhaps he has grown fond of Nero. (For some time now.) ]

[ofthesword]

[He's NEVER admitting this got him to laugh.]

Ooh, watch out, grandpa's got jokes! [And there's a middle finger being sent to him, somehow.] Shut it. Don't be jealous of my goat.

[gynvael]

Mm-hmm.
If your goat gives you trouble,
You know where to find me.

[ It's a standing offer, in general. ]

[ofthesword]

Yeah, yeah.

[He can handle Eli. He may be a total son of a bitch, even as goats go, but he and Nero have an understanding. The understanding is that Nero will absolutely throw him in the lake if he has to.

There's a pause. Nero doesn't think hard about it. Doesn't think about how few people he's been able to depend on in his life. And how little time he's really known Geralt in comparison.

Still. He does feel... something. About him.]

Thanks. It's the same, you know. If you need backup.

[gynvael]

I know.
