This would be a good moment to remind you all that you do have limits, regardless of whether they're physical or emotional. There is no shame in taking the day, or even one hour to yourself - chances are that someone equally skilled will be able to fill in.

Even I wouldn't be able to fight two dragons back to back and come out of it emotionally or physically, unscathed. Do take a minute. Take a shower. Eat. Check in with your loved ones and friends.

In other news, if you see Sam Wilson down in the infirmary, I have prescribed him bed rest, so please do restrain him and escort him back to his bedchamber.

I want at least six hours of sleep from you, Sam.

	Talk to Dick Grayson; from what I recall, he and his brother are expertly trained. And I will have a longer list of names for you later. [...] You were trying to ask me to join your fold? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Talk to people. ... Yen's better at that. Yen and I both trust you. Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're managing just fine right now, Geralt. Then yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're not most people. Good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	May I ask? About Ciri? What is she to the two of you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Does the Law of Surprise exist in your sphere? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It doesn't. What is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm. When told you owe someone a favour, you can name it the Law of Surprise. Upon returning to that person, whatever they have earned that came as a surprise is yours. In this case, it was Ciri who I was given for saving a man's life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maker. That explains how a sourpuss like you ended up with a child. At least you're extremely fond of her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mmm. Tried to escape it, but destiny had other designs. I've only just gotten to know her here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do not have much experience with children. Seems a bit like playing with a fate not meant for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My kind was not meant to bear children let alone raise them. When I suggested the Law of Surprise, none of us knew Ciri's mother was pregnant until that very moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There have been exceptions, of course, but the Joining renders most of us sterile. It's probably for the best. Our lives are short. And crazy, apparently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As does my mutation. Ours are not, not if we're good at what we do. Surviving the process has its... few merits. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The only difference between me and the enemy we fight, is the griffon emblazoned on my armor. I should have commenced my Long Walk a long time ago. This place [...] is not helping, but at least my mind is clear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is the Long Walk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We head underground and slay as many darkspawn as we can before we're killed. The Deep Roads are quite beautiful, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm. Interesting. I don't. Perhaps this place will make us privy to them one day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I had no desire to die at eighteen. And I've no desire to die now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Solona \| Geralt ofrivia 2020-01-26 03:22 pm UTC (link)
	Then don't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's easily said, Geralt. I've seen what happens to Wardens when they live after their time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
