[ Just wait, Julie, until you find out they're all named Roach. Every single one he's ever had.
Something in her smile leeches some of the tension out of his shoulders. It is, he thinks, true. That this Roach has a home. She never has before. Home was simply where he took her and set up camp. Except in the winters, he supposes.
He makes his way out of the tub by inches, settling on the stool near Julie. There's a vague attempt to dry himself off with a towel, though there's no helping some of the blood that will inevitably seep into it. ]
Nadine said she never saw a real horse before this world. [ Actually, Nadine said she'd never rode a real horse, but to Geralt, the two concepts are the same. If she hasn't ridden one, he presumes that means there were none around. So it's curious that Julie seems more familiar with horses, if they come from the same world. It's not a significant point, really. But Julie's right: he can't do anything about Jaskier or Ciri or Thorne. Not for the moment. May as well talk horses. ]
