no need to stress about being lonely when you’re young. geralt didn’t even find his bff until he’s in his seventies
Samstree: #thinking about one local geriatric witcher learning the meaning of friendship #‘what do you mean you just want to *check note* spend time with me?’ #‘what do you mean my presence is enough and there’s no service required?’ #‘BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?’ #‘WHAT DO I OWE YOU NOW? NOTHING? i think not’
Just thinking about Geralt in Baptism of Fire when he is saying good bye to Zoltan. Zoltan says the hansa is strange company. (A mouthy bard, a disgraced not-a-Nilfgaardian, a traumatized teen with a foul mouth, a cranky country girl with a bow, and a vampire) and how Geralt responds gets me in my feels.
‘…I wish you luck, you and your company. A strange company, I dare to observe.’
‘They want to help me,’ the Witcher said quietly. ‘It is something new for me. So I have decided not to investigate their motives.’
He’s like…this is something I’m not used to. But I’m so grateful for it I’m not gonna ask questions.
