dragonlady7: self-portrait but it's mostly the DSLR in my hands in the mirror (Default)

New chapter for the Geralt Meets Baby Lambert story https://archiveofourown.org/works/26121523/chapters/63926845, in which the story finally does what it says on the tin and so Geralt gets to meet not quite so baby Lambert.

“I got a feeling maybe grown-ups shouldn’t hit this kid in the face,” Geralt said. “Like, just as a general practice. I bet if another kid did it he wouldn’t have a problem.”

“I’m not scared to get hit,” the boy said suddenly, his expression sliding from terror to angry determination.

“It’s not about scared,” Geralt said. “That fit you had, that’s what happens when your body’s telling you too many things at once. For me it was after I got mutated and I couldn’t handle all the sounds and smells and sensations all at once, and I’d just stop working until I got a chance to sort them out. But I bet someone taught you not to fight back when they hit you, and then Varin’s been teaching you that you have to fight back when you get hit, and it’s real hard for your brain to figure out how to do both of those things at once.”

The boy looked astonished, then furious, then mutinous, but he didn’t have anything to say to that, and Geralt figured it was true. Some adult had beaten him as a kid, and had surely beat him worse if he’d tried to resist. It wasn’t that hard to connect those dots.

“So I just have to figure it out,” the boy said, a little sullen but determined.
