[this version of Geralt is from the Netflix adaptation of The Witcher but I'm familiar with most book + all game canon, and open to any AUs etc.]

I do like that about us.

Also, that you're thinking of us as an "us."

[conjurechaos]

I know that is not the wine.

[lastwishes]

That's a nice change.

[conjurechaos]

I suppose we could stop teasing so much every so often.

I confess that it's a reflex... and you're too much fun.

[lastwishes]

I like when we have fun. Together.

[conjurechaos]

It is nice, nicer than I thought it could be.

[Letting herself think about them being able to just be.]

Outside of a plot or contract... we could try this more often.

[lastwishes]

Soon I'll have to travel up to Kaer Morhen. [he pauses...] You should join us.

[conjurechaos]

I would be very interesting to see from your eyes and not a book or rumor.

[lastwishes]

I meant to join us in person.

[conjurechaos]

Really? The three of us?

[lastwishes]

If you're still interested in helping. The winter will be long and cold, perfect time for training.

[conjurechaos]

I'll go with you.

....I want to help. I think between the two of us we are doing well enough.

[lastwishes]

The others might be resistant but they'll learn to live with it for a few months.

[conjurechaos]

just a mage and a young girl, truly not a challenge for a band of witchers.

Is there a special word for that? A murder of crows, a pod of whales...

[lastwishes]

I can't remember the last time a woman stayed at Kaer Morhen.

I'm sure most people think of us as a gang.

[conjurechaos]

Is that why you're generally testy?

A gang of witches. Well. It is accurate.

[lastwishes]

I am not testy... [oh he so is]

Though you rarely see two together.

[conjurechaos]

you're not testy because you and I are in the same place at the same time. I meant in general.

[Sir Testy of Rivia.]

Is it because of competition?

[lastwishes]

Hm. Testy...

Easier to pay one witcher than double the price.

[conjurechaos]

It's not the worst thing, Geralt. It's far more flattering on a man.

[So sayeth Lady Testy of Vengerberg.]

I wish you were joking but that sounds right.

[lastwishes]

As long as you find it flattering.

[They have So Much in common.]

Besides, there are so few of us left, we're better off spread out across the Continent.

[conjurechaos]

Part of what makes you such a treat. Yes.

[Just the right mix.]

Tell me, are they more comrades or siblings to you?

[lastwishes]

Among other things, it seems.

It's hard to say. We did grow up together... though it wasn't the warmest childhood. I do care about them. They're my brothers.

[conjurechaos]

We will have many days to discuss what other attributes of yours I find endearing.

That then leaves the question where do you fall in the order? Big brother? ...little brother?

[lastwishes]

We should definitely keep that conversation away from a certain someone's ears.

I'm the eldest, after Vesemir. He's been like a father to all of us.
