I wrote half of this forever ago so I’m sort of impatient to just post it, so I’m delighted to finally get it up.
Chapter 12: Pretty Scary
in which we get Coen’s POV (and tw for some mild dental horror, since I apparently can’t stop with the Witcher teeth bullshit) and then Lambert and Ciri have some very important bonding time.
Huh really this is an all-Lambert chapter. God damn it, I didn’t mean for him to become my favorite.
“It’s hard to make him blush,” Lambert said thoughtfully. “He’s kind of. I mean, Geralt, you can absolutely take the piss out of all day long. He’s a goddamned ridiculous creature and he knows it, and he’ll let you wind him up about it, he’s worth it. But Eskel… I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever given him a hard time about anything.”
“That can’t be true,” Coen said. “That completely and utterly just cannot be true, Lambert. I would venture a guess that there is no person you’ve spoken to more than once that you have not given a hard time to.”
“… Fair,” Lambert said.
and also
“I don’t think I like boys like that at all,” Ciri admitted, and that was the crux of it, that was what she’d been so worried about.
“You don’t know any boys,” Lambert pointed out gently. “At the moment, you only know Witchers, and we don’t really count. Plus we’re all really really old, and really ugly.”
