Iorveth hadn’t known Saskia long, but he was inclined to like her. She was far too trusting, seeing something worthy in someone like him. But he had to admit – her unquestionable and implicit trust in him made him want to live up to it.

That didn’t make the risk she was taking any less insane, trusting a person like him with the truth of who she was. But fuck, if someone could still see something good in him… well, he didn’t want to let her down. He didn’t want to see betrayal replace that sense of trust.

He always anticipated it coming, even now. He was so certain that everything he did would finally open her eyes to what he was and steal her trust from him. 

Somehow, it had yet to happen.

“I would like to offer you an opportunity. We are looking for someone to headline in a new music hall in Dùthaich’s capital.”

Iorveth’s eyes went wide, disbelief and what might be hope on his face. “What – are – are you serious?”

Cravi smiled at the young Iorveth, “I am. We’d like you to build the hall and star in it. If that’s something you’d be interested in?”

The look on Iorveth’s face made it very obvious that the answer was an emphatic yes, but just as he opened his mouth to say so, his mother cut through their conversation.

“No,” she said simply.

The young Iorveth froze and Cravi blinked at her in bafflement, but Geralt’s attention was caught by the way their Iorveth curled in on himself. Whatever was happening here, Iorveth very clearly remember it well and was not pleased to be revisiting it.
