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.

Yes, I think if it happens a third time, one might have to wonder if I'm getting careless. [ In a droll tone. ] Although I do have some fighting skills now. I've been training since I got here, and Lucifer and I go hunting regularly in Nocwich.

[ Istredd's very proud of that, although trying to act completely nonchalant. It's not as if he would be comparable to a witcher but he's survived monsters pretty well since starting. There is satisfaction in feeling like he can take care of himself, even if those skills did not come in handy during the Pit. But the hunting helps with feeling a little more in control of himself, like he's getting somewhere.

As for the Feywilds situation, Istredd has revealed himself there, and back then he might have been more defensive, but now he smiles wryly, sipping his drink before responding. ]


You may have struck a nerve that night. I hate being overlooked.

[ So they both remember it. Admitting to that is not easy typically, but they've reached a point or he's reached a point where he can confess that much. That's what he means by changed for the better. Istredd's not looking around every situation expecting an insult or that he has to push back on disrespect. Having someone accept and love him for who he is, especially his flaws, helps a great deal too. ]

I value our alliance, Geralt. I'd like that to go both ways.

The Brotherhood only cares about the Brotherhood. Cared, I mean.

[He pauses and there is a pang of pain that hasn't entirely gone away yet. The Brotherhood had it coming, one way or another, and he thinks that ultimately they were a corrupt organization that should have crumbled. They're still people to him though, people he grew up with, a group that would have him any time he needed to feel wanted.

Whatever organization Yennefer is making with the witches, it'll be better than that. So that way of thinking is for certain dead along with Stregobor and the others.]


Yennefer's much harder to win over than I am, Geralt. I give a shit.

[ Istredd's rant about 'Mr. I Communicate In A Series of Grunts But Somehow Everyone Loves Me' is particularly amusing considering he at least feels some fondness for the witcher. He craves his respect, something he's disgruntled about, but it's the truth. Perhaps it's the playing hard to get aspect, that he has to work for a glimmer of appreciation. Either way, it's out there now.

Istredd finds he doesn't mind as much as he thought he would. He smiles. ]


Who knows, maybe we could be friends, if you'd lower yourself to being one with a mage.
