[ here is certainly not where geralt wants to be, no, and sam had known that before he'd even asked geralt to come. he didn't need to know geralt nearly as well as jaskier did to clock the guy for not being a party goer, but when he catches him walking up the drive with jaskier, sam can't lie to himself that he isn't relieved. it's not so much that he didn't think geralt would show - he'd said he would, and sam trusts him, even when it comes to parties. but it's that confirmation, because for all that sam can posture and make grand claims to want every single horizon walker here at the party, he's thankful for the friends. for the people who came that, even if they're hiding away in the staircase somewhere else, offer a support that is both felt and needed.
that, on top of the fact sam had noticed that geralt is a bit distracted by something. he doesn't know what, and sam hasn't really pushed geralt to try and talk about it. it's partially because he's been distracted by his own plans and deals, but he also just...well. honestly. he had a gut feeling it had something to do with yennefer, and sam hadn't quite found the best way to ask about it yet. but he assumes there will be time tonight, or today, and even when it was just seeing them arrive, sam makes a note to find him. just to check in. he feels a bit bad for not having done it until now, but that's what tonight will be for. at some point.
at least - that is what he intends. and then the party starts, and sam gets swept up in it. it's why he's not even sure how much longer it is before he has to head inside for something and promptly forgets it, a whole list of other things, other issues, other problems rolling past. geralt is leaning up against the foyer wall, when sam blinks again and realizes where he is, realizes where they both are, and sees the empty bottle being offered to him. he laughs, mostly at himself, before shaking his head. ]
Gotta get my cardio in somewhere. [ but he does take the beer, reaching around the corner toss his empty bottle away and taking the full one from geralt. ] Thanks, by the way. I'm pretty sure at one point I was getting a refill, but who knows what happened.
[ he laughs, then shakes his head, posting up in the spot on the wall to geralt's left. ]
You good? [ it's said genuinely, like he really does want to know how geralt has been, hiding away in the house and everything. ] Oh, and I saw Roach before I came in.
