[ It's good that Roach has eye wear, frankly. Steve isn't sure that anyone's eyes could withstand the constant blow of dust and sand, and the last thing they want is a torn retina or something. So he's glad to see it.
At Geralt's dry comment, Steve barks out a laugh. ] Yeah, real picturesque.
[ For now Steve walks at Geralt's side as he rides, but they're moving in the direction of one of the stables that he mapped out. He's pretty sure he's going to have to pay extra to rent a horse in these conditions, for good reason, but he's prepared for that too. ]
Yeah, in the mountain range north of here. That's really all they could tell me.
[ He has to raise his voice to be heard over the deafening wind, but the good news is that no one else is even out here to hear their conversation. Either way, Steve had confirmed with Geralt that he'd traveled that way at least once before, plus he's aware of the threat that the Thunderjaw presents. He was really the only option to ask along on this trek.
It isn't long before they pass the stables near the edge of the city, and Steve lifts a hand to grab Geralt's attention. ]
I'll be right back.
[ It takes a bit of charm and a hefty amount of coin, but a short time later he comes out on horseback, saddled up and ready to go. Or as ready as he can be, given the circumstances. ]
