[ He hums. Cynicism has made its home in Geralt's heart long ago. It's difficult to shake. Most days, he doesn't think the world can be fixed. Any world. And yet, he can't bring himself to begrudge anybody for wanting to try. Some piece of himself had hoped to try, too—not for his sake, but for Ciri.
He knows it never quite came to pass. But he doesn't regret anything he's done for her, either.
Homes of origin are complicated, anyhow. He understands that better than anyone. There's a reason he had so few answers for the Doctor's questions about where he came from, what a name like Rivia meant to him. If he once recalled where he was born, those memories have long faded. He's a wanderer, anchored only to Kaer Morhen in the winters, somewhere he did not choose so much as it was chosen for him. A home with as many dark spots as there are bright ones.
Sometimes, you make your home in unexpected places. Whether that's a ship or a broken fortress on a lonely mountain. ]
Before I arrived here, travelling the stars was a distant fantasy. [ Vague theories posited by scholars with too much time on their hands. Now he's met several who claim to have lived nowhere else but amongst the stars. ] Do you feel trapped without her?
