[ There's just silence on the line - Geralt doesn't know what to say to that, besides something really mean, and he's too tired for it. Sure, Lambert. There's slave auctions going on next door, but let's be a dick about Geralt's girlfriend instead. ]
[ Assuming she's even Geralt's girlfriend right now. They're so off again, on again, it's impossible to keep track ... but if he's too tired to even be on autopilot snarling back? Guess they really must be working him hard.
Regardless, the silence doesn't much worry Lambert, who fills conversational gaps with being a dick the same way some people make affirming noises, so he's going to keep on keeping on. ]
Then again, maybe she wouldn't be so keen on signing up for this Coven shit in the first place. Too much like the Lodge. Did you know, the witches here actually took down a king a few hundred years ago? Hard to believe, with how they're so big on playing nice now.
Doesn't matter. Geralt doesn't hold a grudge about the fact that none of them told him about her when he had amnesia. He just also probably won't ever forget about it. ]
People are killed all the time. Kings are just people.
[ I sound like Letho, he thinks. ]
Might want to keep yourself appraised of anti-bond sentiment. I have a feeling the practice of them is what keeps things on an even keel. If people are really riled up against them it could be a precursor to wanting to put monsters in chains.
Sure, but if they're still talking about him after all this time, he must have made an impression. Sounds like he was all for keeping monsters in chains -- wouldn't be surprised if they tell different stories over there.
[ Anyway, thtis sounds suspiciously like Geralt's telling him to do work, but-- ]
I'll see what I can find out. [ Read: might shake down a few people for answers, but if Geralt has problems with his methods, well... he should have put that idea into someone nicer's head. ]
[ If Lambert can't figure out that looking into all this is good for his own continued survival, then Geralt can't help him. He knows better than to try and shake sense into him, by now. His not his parent.
[ There's that urge to be contrary that rises in him every time someone else tells him to do something, even if he was planning on doing it anyway. He's never been one naturally inclined to follow orders, but he figures he could never even begin to explain why to Geralt, who takes whatever comes his way with that same stoicism, mimics Vesemir's disappointment and paternalism better than he'll ever probably realize.
(Not that he realizes they come from different histories yet. Not that he remembers a Geralt that didn't yank back on his chain when it came time to make Jad Karadin pay in blood.)
Just swallow your resentment and learn to suck it all up like every other good little witcher. That's what they're made for, isn't it? ]
