Six whole months with coin assured, a job to do, food to eat, a fire or inn to sleep at – it's a tempting proposition. And how hard could the work really be? A few bandits, here and there. Maybe some ghouls, if they stray too far into the woods. "Hm."
Difficult to say whether that mostly grunted response is positive or otherwise, as he considers her. "Pretty inconvenient outlook for any of your lords who were hoping to be King Consort. But I've been told I have a pretty effective glower."
The witcher shakes his head, his white hair brushing over the shoulders of his armor. "Marriage isn't in the cards for witchers. Just as well; seen it ruin whole kingdoms."
The first time he'd met Ciri, before he realized who she was, that she was his destiny, she'd been running from an arranged marriage. She'd been all of, what. Twelve? "So you won't get any judgment from me on that call. Seems like a reasonable one to make. You don't seem to be having any problems ruling on your own."
