~ Baby Roach Drabbles ~
"Papa, you're stinky."
Geralt, who was covered in monster guts and various other unidentifiable slime, told his daughter, "I'll take a bath when we get back to the inn."
Baby Roach scowled and pointed off into the distance.
"Water's over there."
"I will take a bath when we get back to the inn," Geralt repeated, more emphatically this time. Then his brain caught up with his eyes. The direction Baby Roach was pointing was neither where he'd fought the monster nor the direction the village was in. "How do you know there's water over there? We didn't travel in that direction."
"That's where it is."
"But how do you know?"
"Because it's there," Baby Roach whined, and Geralt knew he wouldn't get a more sensible answer out of her even if he kept asking.
Apparently kelpies had an innate sense of where the nearest body of water was.
