[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 tend to exaggerate how insufferable you are.

[lastwishes]

Stop, you'll make me blush.

[conjurechaos]

Are you saying your tolerance for me would not have been as high as a younger, more impressionable Geralt?

One that would blush at a backhanded compliment as much as a bold faced compliment?

[lastwishes]

A younger Geralt would have been too cocky and self centered to handle all that is you.

[conjurechaos]

too cocky I would believe, self centered? Geralt of Rivia self centered?

[lastwishes]

Who isn't when young and naive about the world?

[conjurechaos]

true... I am having a time imagining such a trait for you.

I have been very self involved for some time, to your point.

[lastwishes]

No one is perfect.

[conjurechaos]

perfectly tiresome state of being I imagine

[lastwishes]

And boring.

[conjurechaos]

we both love to be entertained

[lastwishes]

I'll never get bored so long as you're in my life.

[conjurechaos]

Tell me this when we meet again. I want to watch your eyes and your mouth move with the words before I kiss you.

[lastwishes]

It is a promise.

[conjurechaos]

Shall I charm a ribbon around your finger to remind you?

[lastwishes]

Would that mean I am bound to you?

[conjurechaos]

a ribbon alone, even one made by magic needs a bit more to bind a witcher.

You need silver or gold, right?

[lastwishes]

I carry enough silver with me as it is.

[conjurechaos]

just ribbon? Really? It won't get shredded by a manticore or lizard?

[lastwishes]

I would keep any token of your affections protected.

[conjurechaos]

I feel like it should be more than a ribbon and a long, long private stroll with when we talk of affections and tokens.

[all the old practices of courtship feel new, fresh and honest. because they are.]

[lastwishes]

Sentiment can be more powerful than physical objects.

[conjurechaos]

take care where you tie it, it won't come undone until you say "red spider lily"

[His wolf medallion may rattle at the chain because magic shifts the air and a ribbon slithers close to where his palm should be.]

Sentiment sounds suspiciously like magic.

[lastwishes]

[Well, that was quick. Geralt wraps the bit of dark fabric around his fingers for now, watching the way the color shifts to purple.]

Hmm... are you courting me, Yen?

[conjurechaos]

[It's like they're playing chicken with their own emotions at stake.]

Geralt, you're impossible

[And those acute witcher senses can pick up the smell of lilac and gooseberries.]
