[ They have come a long way, he realizes all of a sudden. Him being open, Geralt not shutting it down. Istredd studies him for a moment, that pain still in his chest, the fear of it all crashing down. He meant it when he said it was for them, all of them, but the corruption is a good thing to point out. What would he do in his desperation? He probably won't know until it's tested.
He told Lucifer that just for one night, he was going to allow himself to be glad someone would rip apart the universe to save him. But Istredd only meant it for then. He does care about the multiverse, it's just that he has more selfish impulses now, at times. It was easier to care about that when he had no personal attachments. They've all changed since coming here.
He is quiet but then his mouth curves into a half-smile. ]
That sounds almost like concern for me, Geralt.
[ Is he teasing him? Absolutely. It is tentative though, the most humor they've ever established was with the fake fight, and then earlier in this when he tossed the head at him. ]
