Cheers.

[John's lips quirk up into a smile at the other man's response, and he raises his mug toward Geralt's in return, before he raises it to take a sip. 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.]

[It is the natural question, but again John does not pry. The words that Geralt keeps choosing to use for this -- brought. Forged. It does not seem like a particularly pleasant experience. John may not be able to relate entirely, but his own experience of the army had been something of the sort. Before earning his commission, when Hal had "let" him come along with the 46th -- to Cullodden. If only they had known...

Instead, he allows Geralt to move the conversation along himself, although the new topic of choice surprises him. He raises his eyebrows, a new sort of smile twisting its way across his lips as he replies.]


Only good things, I hope?

[It is a tease, but -- Claire is the one person here who could share some of his deeper, darker secrets if she so chose.]
