[It comes out bitter but it's not because of Geralt; it's what he could've had if his family wasn't a bunch of traumatized dumbfucks. If Kyrie's parents weren't killed by demons. He has a feeling Geralt would've done anything for Ciri. Feels like he pretty much has, especially when they were in the pit. Geralt was giving to her the last bites of food he had.
He forces himself to relax, 'cause part of him is still afraid he'll burst into flames, even if this is the Horizon. It's not like he's in much better control here than he is out there. Shit, truly, just happens.
Nero turns around so fast it's almost sharp. It's the kind of thing Credo might've said -- even with the jab. He knows Geralt isn't Credo, and no one will ever replace him. He isn't looking to replace him. It's just --
It's something he wanted to hear. He doesn't even remember why he came here in the first place.
Geralt doesn't need to elaborate. Nero knows exactly what's being offered here... even if he's caught between I need this and when did I ever start mattering that much?] You couldn't handle most of them, anyway.
