ā€œA healer, she said she was! And herbalist! ā€¦ Shit, I believe I neglected to get her name, but alas! We can get that from her when we arrive. She said she was not all too far south of the village,ā€ Jaskier would look back toward Geralt, blue eyes big and expression full of a familiar energy.
He was infatuated with this woman. Unsurprising, given his track record.
ā€œShe isĀ quite the beaute, as wellā€“ but weā€™ll both have to see her skills for ourselves. She said she did stock a good array of herbs, so Iā€™m hoping she may have some of what youā€™ve been missing,ā€ Looking forward again, he was pleased when he would catch sight of a small hut not far from them.
ā€œThere we are! And there she looks to be as well. See, Geralt? Your eyes can probā€™ly see her better from here. Isnā€™t she lovely?ā€
The healer hadnā€™t appeared to take notice of the pair of men approaching her hut just yet. She had long red hair, kept out of her face with the help of a headband. Unlike many, sheĀ  wore flowy yet more traditionally menā€™s clothingā€“ wearing trousers instead of a skirt or dress. Alas, she used her tunic as a means of helping her carry some things inside.Ā

WHATā€™S IT LIKE BEING YOUR FRIEND ?
it's like an unrequited love
being your friend HURTS, dude. you probably don't realize it but your validation is so meaningful and important to your friends and it can feel like they're constantly pushing for it. it's unrequited love, actually, in the worst way possible--you may be a good friend but being your friend is like being near fire: if you spend enough time near it you may find yourself entranced by the fire, but everyone else seems to be averse to you. let your guard down. a relationship is fifty fifty.

She felt an edge, just seeing him again. Last time, at the least, Geralt had been unconscious when they initially came across each other again. Visenna had had time to ease herself before he came to, but this time? The anxiety spiked, and she had no way of calming herself down just yet.Ā 
And so as a shorter, redhead woman would lock eyes with the white haired witcher, it caught the attention of some of the villagers around them. The tension in the air was clear as day, and it didnā€™t look like anyone had the gall to step in between the witcher and druidess. Some would pass by, trying to ignore what was going on.
Visenna hadnā€™t realized before, how tall Geralt had grown to be.
ā€œā€¦Iā€™m sorry,ā€ She would almost instantly concede.Ā ā€œI had no intention of inserting myself into your life,ā€ She was giving him an out to this. This mayā€™ve been destiny at play. OrĀ  perhaps mere coincidence? Visenna hadnā€™t sought him out, and she doubted he wouldā€™ve looked for her. She hopedĀ  that wasnā€™t the case.Ā

ā€œOnce Iā€™mā€¦ finished here, you can forget I was here,ā€ She would attempt to assure.

the sound of the door breaking caused regina to look up from where she sat upon the dark velvet chaise. legs gracefully placed in relaxation. an on looker would not dare to think she was ready for a fight. the long black tresses done up and out of her face , save for a single strand that framed her cheek gently. the supple leather of her pants under the dress made it easier for her get up from where she was sitting, the heels clicking gently on the stone floor. " i was told that they were sending a witcher to come get me. " the evil queen walked closer to him now, glass still in hand and unafraid. her dark eyes focused on his own as she took another sip. there was added drama to the act , a sigh fell from her lips as she smiled at him. " did they tell you what i did to the last one ? a very short story but i won't bore you with details , i imagine you have more pressing matters ? "

itā€™s a long car ride, ciriā€™s feet up on the dashboard and a smile pressed against their face.Ā  they like long car rides with geralt in the aptly named car.Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Ā ā€œĀ  i think roachĀ is making noises again.Ā  ā€Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  their lips curl up as a sputter comes from in front of them.Ā  might be their fault, but they prefer to think itā€™s just the long winding roads.

A FREE soul he is, never succumbing to the wishes of his brother to live by their side, a decision they have respected eventually, but this time is different; they want him there for a reason far beyond a family gathering, they would not announce it, but they throw the most generous of offers in return, promise it is only the first half if the Witcher comes back victorious. Nothing of this is known to him, ignorantly welcoming the silver-haired man into the bar, checking if they like the pastries of it since he is the one making them for now, only temporary though, despite the ownerā€™s requests for him to stay; the customers have doubled ever since his bread and work has been introduced to the menu.
ā It would taste fantastic with butter. āž Placing some beside their plate, the smile on his face stays as he echoes the same words he does to those he serves at times, something not required of him, yet he loves doing it; he engages, never hides behind counters and desks. ā Enjoy your food~ āž
