speaking of on earth we're briefly gorgeous, I think one of the moments that stuck out to me the most was the scene where little dog is with his mom at the nail salon, and she's working on a customer who's in hysterics about the death of her little girl, and his mom keeps offering her condolences until she realizes the customer is talking about a horse. and then after the customer leaves, she shouts "a fucking horse! I was ready to go to her daughter's grave with flowers!" it's a very funny moment, a moment of joy and laughter amidst all of the trauma this family has had to endure. the thought of having enough money to own a horse and mourn its death like it was one of their children is such a ridiculous and unthinkable concept to this impoverished family that they can't help but laugh together.

31. doing a pinky swear
Ciri is sleeping in his arms and Geralt can't take his eyes off her.
It's almost a habit by now. If fear and worry could ever become a habit. Staring at the little girl and not daring to avert his look, dreading the possible fateful moment she won't be there anymore.
And, funny, it's not always the nightmares.
These too, just like the one earlier in the night, that have her shaking and seeking refuge so desperately it makes him wonder how many times she hadn't found it. And every time she will crawl inside his hug and suddenly she is so small, smaller than she looks, shaking like a terrified cub.
And Geralt will hold her until she sleeps and after she does, he will still hold her.
The nightmares too. But also this inexplicable fear that she will slip through his hands and fly away earlier than she should, and he will realize then that he never had the time to glimpse inside her, and it will be too late.
Maybe most parents have it, he thinks. Maybe that's why some of them leave.
They cannot bear sheltering another soul inside them, one they will barely ever know.
Geralt.
What is it?
He looks at her, head tucked under his chin and her hair falling in front of her nose as she breathes peacefully, at last, deep into sleep. Gods, he thinks, she's so young. Younger than he remembers himself ever being.
Promise me you won't leave me.
He had hesitated for a moment, and now he curses himself. Not because he meant to ever leave her. But because it may be inevitable, one day. Because he cannot give such promises.
Because she is young and has her whole life ahead and he, he is a witcher. He is a father. And sooner or later, they will part.
And he is so, so scared.
Still.
I promise.
Scared because he can't bear ever losing her and the mere thought can drive him mad. Scared because he can't imagine her ever being out of his reach.
Pinky promise?
Gazing at her, on and on. Unable to grasp her and it can't be so impossible, for a little girl, still he feels as though he drives into a wall every time. And yet every time she smiles or cries or laughs, just for a moment, he catches her. And then she's gone again.
An absent smile curves his lips. A little girl. His little girl.
Pinky promise. He had smiled then too.
He promised. Scared, dreading. Still.
Ciri not leaving him was not part of the deal. It can't be. And he will let her go.
But he, he will never leave. He promised.
With a sigh, he leans and kisses her head as she nuzzles in his shoulder.
On his chest their fingers are still entwined, and he will keep them like that for as long as destiny allows him. And longer still.
