[ geralt's huff doesn't go entirely unnoticed, but sam chooses not to address it, either. they may not have had this discussion up until this point, but sam does have opinions on this. and he's fully aware that geralt does not fall in line with those same opinions. it's been alright, because it hasn't exactly been a part of their lives up until now, and sam doesn't exactly plan to start.
he wants to know how to use a sword, wants to not be at a total loss if one ends up in his hands. he's not looking to kill people, though he's aware it's possible to happen. still, his practice won't be in that direction, and he's comfortable enough knowing that killing your opponent is exactly going to be something he'll need to do in his lessons with geralt.
it's complicated, but it's okay. sam's okay with this, and with knowing geralt won't force it on him, even if it came to that. still, sam tries to go for it - a quick strike, in the midst of his chatter, but of course geralt is paying attention. of course he's never not on guard. the witcher's hand curls around sam's wrist in a firm grip, and as his wrist twists, his grip loosens alongside. in a matter of moments sam's got his free hand up in a I give sort of motion and his chin lifted, the practice blade placed right under it. alright, alright, point made his smile seems to say. ]
No, but it never hurts to have both. [ and then whether or not geralt drops the point of the blade, sam will drop his hands - the show of trust painfully obvious, at this point. ] Also depends on my game that day - is it working on you?
