(she doesn't take comfort well and her moods are erratic at the best of times, let alone right now, which are as far from them as possible. she expects him to get up and leave her to her mess, part of her is almost daring him too. it's what most people do.

people don't stick around when you become too difficult to love.

but he stays. he recovers, he gets up and he stays. he doesn't try to touch her again and she's not sure if that's comforting or disappointing but she sits back down all the same.)

I didn't experience any carnival, I think I arrived shortly after it. But if there are creatures brought here....I should speak to Geralt about that part, monsters and creatures are his speciality, not mine. But how long will it be until that carnival? Should we search the forest for any of them first?

(he's right they need a next step but what that next step is? it's hard to see when her mind is running a million worst case scenarios at once.)

We don't know how much time we have until he tries to finish it.
