[No ten year old should have to shoulder what he has, go through what he did. Maybe still is. How can Nadine know? All she knows is things that happened in Vegas, nothing about Boulder.
She shakes her head, trying to push the thoughts away. Now isn't the time, she's busy. Losing focus now would be a very, very bad idea. Geralt is trusting her. For once, she'd like that trust to be well placed.
It unsettles her, though, to fully realize that he is trusting her. They hardly know each other, really, but he's vulnerable and placing his health in her hands. It would be so easy to take advantage of that, to poison him instead of heal, had she any reason or inclination to. Of course she doesn't...but she doesn't like that she thinks about how she could. That she knows she's capable of something like that.
What is wrong with her this morning?]
Uh...sorry for steering us down a depressing topic of conversation. I'm almost done cleaning this whole mess, then we're going to have to close a few of these up.
