[ Silence is all he gives in reply, though he does look at Jaskier, his gaze steady. He almost says it. Everything that happened. It burns inside him. He's told no one, but Jaskier knows him better than anyone else. He is perhaps the only person in this place Geralt thinks he could tell, if he ever chose to. The question is whether he will.

For now, he does not. It's too raw. He takes the invitation instead, carefully settling in beside Jaskier. He supposes he could return to his own bed, but he tells himself that the walk back isn't worth it. He may as well stay here. (It has nothing to do with the fact that he'd rather not be alone.)

He takes the flower from his hair, turning it between his fingers. His life has never been especially peaceful, but he's tired of the turmoil. The world that presses down around them with its edges of war and strife and pits of vipers. He misses, more than ever, his real home. There is no place here where he can take the people most important to him, no walls to keep them safe behind.

Sleep comes difficult. He's always slept like shit, but more so now. He stays, anyway, watching Jaskier doze into the late morning. ]
