The Ancient Sea chapter update: Chapter 3, Repairs
In which Lambert asserts his character in ways I hadn’t expected, Geralt and Eskel explore their home improvement skills, and we get some Triss Merigold action. Bonus, Yennefer’s goal of emotionally destroying Jaskier is benevolently attained.
“So?” Ciri said.
“So I mean,” Lambert said, leaning forward a little farther. “I know you don’t know me, kid, but I swore I’d never see another person forced to become a Witcher. I’m saying to you, and you don’t have to answer me now, but I’m saying– if you don’t want to be a Witcher, you don’t have to be one. I’ll find a way out for you. I want you to have a choice, like I never did. Like Geralt never did. It’s not right; this isn’t the kind of life you should be forced into. That’s all I’m saying.”
She stared at him. “I do want to be here,” she said finally.
“That’s because we’re only doing the fun stuff with you,” he said. “And maybe it’ll stay fun– I don’t think we have the ability to put you through the Trials like we had to go through, the real torture. The stuff that makes you a freak, forever.” He leaned back, away from her, dopping his hands to his lap. “I’m just saying, kid. Think it over. And if at any point this isn’t fun anymore, you come to me. I know I’m an asshole, but not about this.”
