[ sam's learned, over the years of them knowing each other, that geralt's feelings tend to be enough of a reason to do just about anything. his gut has kept him alive for all the decades, centuries, whatever that he was alive back in his home world. and now here, it has been proven to sam again and again.
which is why, when geralt sighs, sam's brows lift just a bit. when he first speaks, sam waits for him to continue, knowing there is more to what he's saying.
what he learns is not what he expects, specifically at carrying a tracker that viktor gave her. sam's first thoughts are, of course, immediately addressed by geralt, so all sam really does is cross his arms over his chest and listen. and what he hears doesn't make him feel any better. he only (relatively) recently learned of ciri's own 'uniqueness', as geralt puts it - but even then, he can see exactly what it is that geralt is alluding to. how viktor wouldn't hesitate, in these sorts of situations. ]
It's a dangerous combo- the two of them, I mean. Especially if Ciri's willing to dive into those situations, Viktor's only gonna support her. [ and maybe complicated is exactly the word for it. because he agrees, viktor isn't the kind of person who would intentionally do anything malicious, not like that and definitely not towards ciri. but if put in a situation like what happened with the pit, he doesn't see viktor or ciri making another decision. ]
When I saw him, he asked me if I had the chance to go back, if I'd take it. I told him it'd depend on how. By what means. [ now it's sam's turn to sigh, shake his head. ] The worst part about all this is that he could easily be the one who figures it all out and lets people go home. But how he gets there...
[ sam swallows down a kind of weight in his throat. he likes viktor, he really really does. he's just not sure if he can trust him, and that's hard. really hard. he lets out another breath. ]
Yeah- I'll talk to him. About the miners, and the robot and all that.
