The drink is strong, but John has spent time stationed abroad in Prussia. So long as Geralt isn't planning on challenging him to any sort of contest, he can handle himself.
His gaze lingers on his companion as he lowers his mug once more. It is true, he has indeed received an invitation. One that John will do his best not to take advantage of. He gets the feeling that such things are not extended idly. Not from this man. This Witcher. The White Wolf. Is that not how he had first introduced himself, at the masquerade?]
It is... A brotherhood. Is it not.
[Equal parts question and statement. From the well-worn, well-loved look of the tables in the hall, to what sentimentality Geralt has shown for it thus far, that is how this place feels to John at any rate. And who is he to judge? He has dedicated most of his own life enlisted in a brotherhood of his own, of a sort.]
