[ well - that pretty much hits the nail on the head, doesn't it? finding reason to keep moving, finding focus in something else. sam has always thought better when he was moving, and maybe that's part of the reason for this party at all. because for once, sam (thanks to jaskier) had an idea for something that might actually help. for once he could do something actively, instead of reactively.
the jury is still out on if any good will come of this party at all, and after his conversation with estinein, sam isn't really so sure, but he's doing something. he's moving. he's trying, and he honestly does feel better for it. better than he has in a while.
at the amused noise, sam lifts a brow, only to find himself laughing a bit at the image. he knows there are complicated feelings where it concerns geralt and his horse, and honestly? sam gets it. the amount he's become attached to red in such a short time is a little embarrassing. ] My mom used to always say it wasn't really a home without a few animals around. [ and it's the truth, isn't it? who cares if they aren't dogs or cats. they can have horses and hawks and...whatever cow creature kay rode in on. it's fine.
sam asks expecting a few different responses for his check in. first, he assumes geralt will say he's fine and then sam will have to circle through other questions. about how ciri is, about what's been happening, about how geralt and jaskier rode into the party together. second, geralt could simply close up, which would prompt a whole different route when it came to their time together in the quiet house. third - well. the third was something that sam was prepared for, yes, but he realizes it's not really important what the third option was, considering geralt doesn't just answer with i'm fine and move on.
geralt answers with something sam suspects isn't the whole truth, but it is the truth, and it's not lost on him that geralt answers at all. ]
Are you looking into jobs? Like what you used to do? [ sam gestures a bit with the bottle to the space in front of him, trying to find the words and needing a second before he can get there. ] Monsters and all that?
