[ His eyes narrow in thought. It's not that what Amos is saying doesn't make sense. It does. He's heard that shit before from people. Usually people who can afford to hold those values of a fair fight. Knights. Nobles. No one who's simply moving through the world to survive.
Amos strikes him as neither. He's always come off, to Geralt, as someone just as scrappy as he is. ]
Unchecked. [ He cocks his head. Somehow, he thinks they've moved past the matter of this one potentially dangerous ability. It isn't his business, not really. He finds himself asking, anyway, if only because Amos has already told him more than he'd expected to hear. ] What're you afraid of?
[ That he can't stop himself? For what reason? Geralt's stayed his hand more often than not. Because of what he is, because of what he can do. It's a choice. One he doesn't always make and never one he makes out of some noble intention. Just. He's learned, that's all. To pick his battles. And it's starting to sound as though, the way Amos is talking, as if the concept of that choice escapes him altogether. As though, if he were handed a weapon, any weapon, it'll be used without question. ]
