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

It is a promise.

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

Would that mean I am bound to you?

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

You need silver or gold, right?

I carry enough silver with me as it is.

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

I would keep any token of your affections protected.

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.]

Sentiment can be more powerful than physical objects.

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.

[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?

[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.]

I must say, this is a first for me.

[Believe it or not. He's never stuck around in one place long enough to make lasting relationships, nor has he wanted to before now.

After some consideration he ties it into a knot near his medallion, looped over the chain.]

I'll have to give you something when we meet again.

You've never charged into danger with a charm or favor of a lady? I staunchly believe that my sex has more brains but I can't say why that would be. Unless you've turned down tokens before?

[She has had plenty of lordly types give her things. And she an object now and again. It hasn't felt like this.]

Thank you for a something.

I've had... propositions, I suppose. Never taken any beyond a night or two.

[Sex. He's talking about sex.]

I'm not so sure I can afford your taste in jewels.

A pair of tits and a cunt is not a very imaginative or even permanent favor. I won't even say that was effort. You deserve better.

[Always, always.]

I never said anything about jewels.

I'm always on the move. Not exactly relationship material. Most people just want to say they've slept with a witcher.

I know your tastes... Fancy, shiny, and pricey.

Is that actually what you think or what you have been told enough times that it must be true?

Yes, I do enjoy finery. What will make it significant is that it is a possession of yours that you entrust to me so that I may touch it and look at it and think only of you.

I've never felt the desire for it. [until now. settling down?? novel concept for a witcher.]

You thought of something so easily. I don't own much... but I will think of something you can carry with you.

and you do now.

I pulled a ribbon from my hair. It was the closest thing to me. And it can be as discrete as you like.

I've thought about it more and more in my old age.

It still carries your scent.

ah, so that is what it is. old age.

and it should keep it for some time. i can refresh it if you ever need it.

And you. You know how I feel.

You know me too well, Yen.

i know that I am very, very taken with an oft tongue tied witcher. when i told you about what i wanted i hadn't thought of someone beside me before you.

sometimes you give yourself away.
