Summary
His eyes snap open to Geralt sitting on top of Roach with a little girl looking down at him. He internally scoffs because of course Geralt learns to care for someone only after he leaves, and immediately feels bad because he knows that the girl, Princess Cirilla, deserves all the care she could get. But he doesn’t say any of that, doesn’t even look Geralt in the eye before he says, “No,” turns, and walks away from them.
Geralt doesn’t follow him, and instead he hears Roach turn around and walk the other way. He pretends not to know why that only makes him disappointed, angry. He pretends that he doesn’t feel tears falling down his face, blurring his vision. It's been six months, he’s over it.
(Geralt didn’t even try, he didn’t call him back, he didn’t follow. He just let him leave and didn’t even wait before turning around. Not one half-assed apology, not anything at all. Geralt didn’t try to keep him, doesn’t want him.)
