» 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.

Sometime near the end of January

I spoke to Yennefer.

[He could leave it there, and he sort of considers doing so. If they both remembered Voleth Meir, and Ciri, and the Witchers, then clearly... but Jaskier has wanted very little to talk about any of it, despite being unable to avoid doing so. It still strikes him too deep. Even thinking of Yennefer stirs very unpleasant memories, but he cannot forget the panic in her writing. The panic he'd seen in her in Oxenfurt.

It's a bad sign when Yennefer of Vengerberg is as afraid as he. And she hasn't been answering any of his fucking messages since.]

Not long. I could barely read it; something is interfering, I suppose, with the connection. [He's not sure what. It feels easy to blame the Singularity, but was that really it? He doesn't understand why her magic is on the fritz again, if that's the issue. He thought... well, he doesn't fucking know why it's back, but he knows she came through that portal with it. Healed that Witcher. Even healed herself.]

I'm sending her something. Ah. Attempting to. Sending it to Thorne. I don't know how well it will work, but -- do you want to send her anything? A message?

[He's afraid he knows the answer already.]

[gynvael]

[ Something interfering. It's what she has told him, too. Geralt believes her, because he believes Jaskier. But it changes little.

He takes his time answering. Does he? What good would a message do? Would she even give a shit? Would it mean anything to her? He has not forgiven her; he isn't sure he ever will. But he knows she's important to Ciri. Regardless of what she has done, she holds a place in Ciri's life, a place that Geralt made for her that night. Asked her to fill. They both did. And he also knows she's alone in Thorne. Steeped in magic and their desires to grasp hold of the Singularity's power while she has none of her own. While she does not remember too much of what she should. Of what was important.

Thorne is the last kingdom that puts him at ease, where Yennefer is concerned. Alucard told him once that Jaskier is the best thing that could happen to Hector. A tempering force. He had not disagreed then. ]

Take care of her for Ciri.

[cointosser]

[It isn't a message for Yennefer that Geralt sends him. But when Jaskier receives it, he gives a little sigh -- of relief, more than anything. He has not completely abandoned her. No. No, he never truly believed Geralt could.

If Geralt can be so generous after a broken heart, should he not be able to do the same?]

Of course. In this matter, you can trust me.

[He's not sure how he's gotten to this point, tasked with helping a sorceress. Taking care of her. Checking up on her.

A bit of it's selfish, too. What he sends her -- the bird he's chosen -- only she will really know what it means. And, if only for a moment, he wants someone to recall that part of him. So that he may believe it still lives in him somewhere. Waiting to be utilized again for a cause.

Perhaps Yennefer is the first part of that cause.]

And should I be resting when you arrive home, don't be alarmed. I'm afraid this is going to take quite a bit of effort. You'll be very impressed, I'm sure.
