[ isn't that usually how it goes? sam is happy to talk about himself (well, sometimes at least) but the truth of this is that what happened, what went down, affects geralt much more than it did - or would - sam.

which is why he asks, why he wants to push it at least a little. why, when geralt says what he says, sam simply frowns. ]

It's not that simple, and you know it.

[ it's not said with any weight, sam isn't here to chide geralt about how he wants to feel about all of this, but sam knows how geralt feels about ciri. what sort of responsibility he holds and feels in regards to it. but this - this whole thing - it's complicated. it's messy. like most things are. ]

But you don't want him to apologize? Whether or not you think he needs to, you don't want to hear it. Can I ask why?
