[ it must have been right before, and what good did that do? sam knows he got swept up in the summoned, knew that the months leading up to the kidnappings he'd been working, been trying to keep up. and so the mark, so dean - he'd failed there too, hadn't he? or perhaps not failed, exactly, but he's reminded once more of big promises, of broken words.
still, that's something for him to sort through in his own time, something for him to talk to dean about. as geralt thinks, as he absorbs, sam waits. he's comfortable, at this point, with the quiet in betweens with geralt - doesn't feel the need to fill them, to press for words before he's ready to give them. and when geralt does speak, quiet and settled, sam shakes his head. ]
There's always a choice, and the less it feels like there is, the harder it is to make. [ which, sam knows, might not be what geralt meant. he'd picked up enough on the conversations after, knew that there was something from ciri, that jaskier's being there too; there was a whole combination of reasons geralt may or may not have been swayed, why he finally chose what he did.
but sam does believe that - in the choice, in the power that is held in making it.
a thought comes to him, after that. a moment that sam considers if this is really the time or not. he considers it, waits to see if there's anything else geralt means to bring up, before he decides that it's worth bringing up. ]
