[ Alucard is right. The bat's little heartbeat is thundering, and Geralt doesn't know how that makes any fucking sense if it's an entity that's shifted as a part of Alucard. Why would it have an independent physiological response?
Furthermore, he had questions. He did not insist on experimenting with potential dismemberment. Geralt is not one to bother defending himself from accusations, though, so his sole response is another sigh. He's about to offer the bat to Alucard when his medallion hums. Before he can react (the amount of bullshit happening all at once is truly highlighting how much he is not sober), Ciri barrels across the roof. One of Alucard's empty wine jugs tips off the ledge and smashes to the ground. On the street two stories below, a woman shrieks.
Jaskier stumbling upon this chaos is one thing. His own daughter is another. She's already witnessed him vomit on a cactus a few weeks ago (during a...complicated hunt, but), then heard him fall out of bed (also complicated).
Geralt breathes in and does not exhale. His fingers curl against his knee from where he's crouched over the scale. He refrains from pinching the bridge of his nose. ]
