[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'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.

[conjurechaos]

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.

[lastwishes]

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.

[conjurechaos]

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.

[lastwishes]

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

It still carries your scent.

[conjurechaos]

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.

[lastwishes]

And you. You know how I feel.

You know me too well, Yen.

[conjurechaos]

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.

[lastwishes]

But now you want it?

[conjurechaos]

Yes. And everything that comes with it

[lastwishes]

That's a big step, Yen.

[conjurechaos]

I'm not intimidated or frightened.

[lastwishes]

I don't think you've ever been.

[conjurechaos]

That's one thing that stays the same. With you almost everything is different. New.

[lastwishes]

And with you. I've never let someone know me so well.

[conjurechaos]

Never? No one at all? That is quite some time.

Is it because I know your thoughts?

[lastwishes]

No one whom I've shared a bed with.

I don't know. You don't abuse it. You know I hate it when you pry without permission.

[conjurechaos]

You are so very easy to talk to, and naturally a listener. I know what you tell me is true.

Yes, I know. And I do mind. Mostly. How to explain it? Your mind is a book I can't put down.

[lastwishes]

There's no fun when you know exactly what someone is thinking. No mystery.

[conjurechaos]

Do you want to give me mystery? Why would I want that?

[lastwishes]

Reading someone's private thoughts without asking is invasive, Yen.

[conjurechaos]

Ah. You need the mystery. Oh, Geralt. Nothing I've beheld is shameful to me. Are you embarrassed?

Shall I ask every time? Or only permitted at certain times of day.

[lastwishes]

Would you want me privy to every single thought and memory of yours? It isn't a joke.

[conjurechaos]

Is that what you believe I do? Excavate? No. I don't. I'm ever tempted but I don't. A surface skim. Your words on the tip of your tongue that you only think to say.

The results would be a disaster. You would not be pleased. I'd let you if that is what you son wanted.

[lastwishes]

Perhaps sometimes there are reasons to keep them on the tip of my tongue. I do not mean to accuse you of anything, Yen. It's just... a point of contention.

I want to hear what you wish to share with me yourself. That's all.
