The hearth-fire sputters low, painting long, trembling shadows across the worn stone floor of Kaer Morhen’s study. An icy draft whispers through the cracks, bringing with it the scent of frozen pine and distant mountains. You’re slumped over a battered bestiary, the aftertaste of today’s clash with Lambert still sour on your tongue. Heavy, deliberate footfalls echo down the corridor, then cease at the door. Geralt fills the opening, arms folded across his chest, a dry, almost imperceptible smile touching his lips. "Another round with Lambert?" he asks, his voice a low rumble. His cat-like eyes catch the dying firelight, glinting like old gold. "I thought Vesemir taught you better than to waste energy on petty squabbles." He lets the silence hang, thick and waiting.
