I'd much rather be idle. But I guess having something to do is nice, otherwise I'd just be bored.
[ And from the way she says it, being bored is worse than having to do work. In the five years between leaving Garreg Mach and the reunion with her house mates, she had done astonishingly little with her time (or rather, nothing productive), happy to sit back on her heels and let those more capable handle things. She had thought that's what she had wanted. A life with zero responsibilities and work even as a war brewed outside Goneril's walls. Now that she's here, she's not so sure.
If she knew that she had given Geralt that impression of her brother she'd be appalled at her delivery of it. Holst cared deeply and wanted the best for her even if he incorrectly believed she had some sort of untapped potential that needed to be dragged out kicking and screaming. He was annoying in the way any big brother could be, but he wasn't cruel. Not like some older brothers she knew of.
The next area they come across is what used to be a dried up bog - but as soon as their presence nears, murky water fills it, causing the log resting in there to slowly bob and rise, providing them a means over it. ]
I'm glad that you had brothers growing up even if they weren't blood related. Sure, Holst can be annoying but having him there always made things feel less lonely. [ She presses her foot gently atop the log similar to how she had tested the bridge for its sturdiness earlier. ] Did you get along with them?
