If you're gonna kill stuff either way, might as well get a proper rush from it. More honorable to fight her own wars than just send other folks to do it.
[ Ciri had once told Julie about her grandmother, accidentally let it slip that she was a queen. Julie had been very complimentary of a strong woman in charge. The vast majority of those with power are shitty, regardless of gender, but Julie will still usually pick a woman over a man.
It's one of the few credits she gives to Abraxas. There are a lot of women in power. Mostly awful ones, but still. Better than their male counterparts.
Geralt's face changes and she listens to him, her own forehead developing a slight stitch. It sounds like more of what she has told him before, that he cannot solely prevent every bad thing happening to people he loves, no matter how much he wants to.
She raises on one hand, cranes her neck forward to softly kiss the corner of his mouth with a sigh. ]
But you know she gets through it. She's here now, so she survives it. And she's safe here. [ Her hand cups his cheek, and she smiles. ] You did things right. Shit happens, but you made sure she was ready for it. She wouldn't be here like she is now if you did it wrong. I'm no parentin' expert, but I'm pretty sure that if it takes a broken back to get you apart from her, that you did everythin' you could.
[ She kisses him again before she adds, ] No one's parents are perfect. You're head and shoulders above most people's dads, and that's with a learnin' curve, 'cause you skipped the easy part. Babies and little kids are nothin' compared to a teenage girl.
