[ His lips twitch. ] I didn't much like Sam when we met, either.
[ Circumstance pushed them together. Trust came later. Looking back, it feels like it was Sam's persistence more than anything that brought them where they are now. So it's curious, the idea that Sam had someone he simply didn't get along with. In Geralt's experience, those people are few and far between.
Sam did tell him a little about Bucky. Not as much as Steve might imagine, though. The truth is, Geralt rarely asks. He knows the details Sam offered, but the rest—he isn't one to pry. Especially not after making it clear he prefers for Sam to leave things well enough alone with him.
And speaking of people he didn't much like upon meeting—at least Steve can be assured he wasn't the only one. ]
I am glad I didn't kill you. [ A beat, before he adds dryly, ] This time.
