“And what did you do?”

[𝒥𝒶𝓈𝓀𝒾𝑒𝓇 @BalladofGondor]

“Geralt, Ciri is being mean to me again!”

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

He didn’t have a care for anyone else in the place. His sights were soly set on her as he followed her to the room.

[𝕿𝙝𝙚 𝖄𝖊𝖓—𝖓𝖊𝖋𝖊𝖗 @lilacobsidian]

They arrive at the inn quickly. There’s no need for polite greetings to the other guests; they can simply proceed directly to their room.

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

And without hesitation, he will do exactly that. Following her close by.

[𝕿𝙝𝙚 𝖄𝖊𝖓—𝖓𝖊𝖋𝖊𝖗 @lilacobsidian]

All he has to do is follow her.

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

Well that sounds perfect. She should lead the way and they can start catching up.

[𝕿𝙝𝙚 𝖄𝖊𝖓—𝖓𝖊𝖋𝖊𝖗 @lilacobsidian]

Yes, she would. Perhaps she has rented an inn for a few days. They can catch up on events.

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

Would she prefer he stuck around a bit longer?

[𝕿𝙝𝙚 𝖄𝖊𝖓—𝖓𝖊𝖋𝖊𝖗 @lilacobsidian]

Maybe he shouldn't.

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

Oh? She didn’t, huh?
Well maybe he should vanish for a bit longer then.

[𝕿𝙝𝙚 𝖄𝖊𝖓—𝖓𝖊𝖋𝖊𝖗 @lilacobsidian]

Was he missing? She didn't even notice...

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

Paying a visit to @dilectusdiaboli after vanishing for a while.

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

Guess I’m back, again.

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

Seems we both have nice views today.

[𝕿𝙝𝙚 𝖄𝖊𝖓—𝖓𝖊𝖋𝖊𝖗 @lilacobsidian]

Just enjoying the sun

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

Morning

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

@dilectusdiaboli They have a point.

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

It has been a long night.

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

As they began to move deeper into the home of the higher vampire, Geralt scanned the space silently for a long moment before finally speaking again.

“Did Regis give any indication of when he intended to return?”

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

The witcher listened she spoke the brief description of what her reasoning was here and her connection to their mutual friend. It was in some ways odd that the two had crossed paths, but never formally met until now, especially considering the long period he had been traveling +

within them.

"There is something he had left for me to pay attention to today. Shall we step inside the crypt?"

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

alongside Regis what seemed like a lifetime ago.

In a way it was good to know that the old vampire still had connections that were not trying to kill the wolf upon first encounter.

“Sure, into the crypt we go,” he said in halfhearted playful tone before soon following her. +

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

@DamagedWard speak in response to her last statement, though rather plainly again.
“Everyone wants to think they are destined for something great, and in that belief one finds themself /different/. I am what one would call different, but as for greatness, that isn’t my thing.”

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

@DamagedWard “Perhaps it will be your downfall, though I can at least ensure that downfall won’t come this night from those that had pursued you,” he said in response before another long moment of silence with just the sound of the horses hooves on the hard ground.

He would nice again +

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

He would turn back to her with a small smile as they stepped into the inn and then began to move up towards his room.

[𝕿𝙝𝙚 𝖄𝖊𝖓—𝖓𝖊𝖋𝖊𝖗 @lilacobsidian]

She follows him at her own pace, mainly to observe his figure. He appears healthy, with no visible wounds.

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

“How have you been?”

[𝕾𝖞𝖑'𝖛𝖆𝖗𝖎𝖘 𝕾𝖟𝖆𝖗𝖗 @dilectusdiaboli]

Well, then she's happy she can help with it and offer something better.

[𝗚𝗲𝙧𝗲𝗹t, 𝘞𝘩𝗂t𝗲 𝘞𝗼𝗹𝗳 @DestinysSilver]

// Been busy with work, will try and do responses this afternoon if I get off early like planned.
