Geralt was gone for many hours. But you expected him to be, since there was a whole colony of kikimores and only one of him. But as he drew near to you, you noticed that he was slightly injured and very dirty. His normally pure white hair was now a muddy brown. His leather clothing was bloodied and torn. He stopped at you, and you noticed that his horse was even injured, just a scratch on her face, though.
"Greetings." He said, as courteous as usual.
"Hello, Geralt, I see you've returned." You say to him.
"Yes, your village is safe once again." He smiled slightly and nodded.
"Oh! You must go tell Mannek! So we can return immediately! Afterwords you must come with me though," You said excitedly and loudly.
"I will tell your leader, but... I don't think that I should stay much longer than that... I don't want to impose." He said to you, obviously unsure.
"No,no. You wouldn't be imposing, besides, you're injured! You can't go off on your own injured."
He relented, "I guess that you are correct, I will stay, but only till I am healed. Alright?"
You were disappointed but if this is the best that he is willing to relent, you were appeased. "That will suffice." You say.
" I am going to inform your leader, I'll be back in a moment, I promise." He said as he turned and found Mannek. You watched as he had a short conversation with him and then turned back to you.
Mannek made an announcement to everyone that we were able to return to the village. You looked over at Geralt to smile and you noticed that he was drinking out of a small vial. And when you questioned him about it he simply said that it was a pain killing potion.
People were cheering and their faces were lit up; obviously happy to return to their homes and boring lives. Geralt had finished consuming the contents of the bottle and looked back down at you: he was after all, much taller that you are.
"We should get you back to your home." He said.
You nodded at him, and started walking but a gloved hand upon your shoulder stopped you.
"You can get on Roach, here, she's faster than walking and she'll save you the leg work." He offered.
"Oh, thank you!" You exclaimed as you approached the Witcher's mare. You struggled to get into the saddle for a little while, then Geralt assisted you buy lifting you into the saddle. Roach, the horse, snorted as you shifted into a more comfortable position. Then Geralt settled himself into the saddle behind you and set Roach into a slow trot.
