[ Geralt snorts at that. Sam's got a point, but it doesn't change Geralt's, either. ] Mm. You should.
[ He isn't insisting, though, just prodding. His bread mops up what's left in his bowl, and he shoves that in his mouth, too. He's better—head no longer as heavy, and warmth returned to him—so the food's done its job. Where the candle by them has started to burn low, he idly lights a couple others with a gesture. Then Sam slides his bowl over.
He pauses. After a second, he takes it. Yeah. Not bad at all. ] Better than what I bother making.
[ Which is a low bar, admittedly. At least around here, with Jaskier's ability to sprout rooted vegetables and a handful of herbs, they've managed most days a meal that's a slight improvement over salted meat and bread. He goes back to eating at the same steady pace. For the most part, he isn't letting himself pick apart what Sam's said. About not shutting him out. Perhaps he will, later, or it might simply stay buried. A piece of knowledge he's not outright rejected, but won't examine too closely, either. Some things are best left unravelled. ]
