[ She nods, half-distracted by how poorly she handled this bottle. She could just let it cool down, but she wants the beer. A quandary. She could use an ice spell next. That would suffice, wouldn't it? ]

Only.

[ Geralt is making the effort to clarify that, so it must be an important distinction for him. As a man of few words each must be chosen carefully, right? ]

Ah!

Her tail swishes happily behind her as she sets the bottle down on the counter. Well, tries to set--apparently she's fused it a bit with the ice but it only takes a few shakes to break it, thankfully. ]

Yes, though it'd be better for everyone if I wasn't.

[ Whether that's because the threats are that large, her ability to deal with them properly, or simply her desire to is left unsaid. ]

"Witcher" is an interesting term. When I think "witch" I don't immediately think of a monster hunter. Do you have witches on your star?
