It's true. John strives to be an honest man, in all aspects of his life. He knows what it is like to hold back a secret, the way it eats a person up from the inside out, and he hates that feeling. Though it may be difficult at times, in John's estimation it is always better to voice his thoughts and feelings, when he can. For better or worse, then at least they will be aired to be addressed.

He knows Geralt will never judge him for it, even if Geralt is not one to do anything of the like himself. Geralt is honest in other ways -- John has a feeling that if he ever did something that really bothered the man, he would know about it. But now...

Geralt is quiet and reassuring. Gentle, in a way that makes John's heart ache with fondness for the other man. He is here. He is here at last.

John leans forward to rest his cheek against the back of Geralt's shoulder, quiet for a long moment before at long last he says, "Tell me about your home together." He realizes that they will be there soon regardless, but he'd like to know more. Hear it from Geralt himself, even if he knows he's not much of a talker, so that he might envision how he could fit himself in with the little family he knows that they have made for themselves.
