[ sam lets ciri have the space and time she needs, here, keeping off to the side, back near the door, as he lets her look geralt over in all of his glory. a part of him feels a bit guilty - for not cleaning up more, for not presenting the space as more put together. geralt still looked awful, truly, but the truth of the matter is that there hadn't really been time. and he's glad ciri came over when she had, as quickly as she had. she deserved to be here, and while he knew geralt hadn't wanted to go home for these specific reasons, sam wasn't going to be the one who left ciri in the dark.
his mind wanders a bit while she looks geralt over - to what's left to do, what he should do. things to clean, windows to open, cloth that he's not sure if he wants to drop down with magpie to clean or if he should just toss the lot of it - when there's a distinct moment he realizes ciri is asking him. sam blinks, bringing himself back. ] Oh, uh. Not long. He passed out while Jaskier and I were still cleaning him up, so not even an hour? [ sam...wishes he had a watch. that worked. still, that doesn't seem to be what ciri is actually asking, and when the questions do come, sam rubs a hand along the back of his neck. ]
Yeah, a little. He didn't make it long, though- Jaskier and I got him inside and started treating some of...that, and he kind of passed right out. [ with a little help from sam's magic, maybe. but it should say something that a calming spell put geralt right to sleep. but then she asks he seemed all right? and sam...he doesn't sigh, necessarily, but there is a slow exhale. ]
Honestly? It was a little hard to tell. He was beat to shit when he got here, and that's after someone got their hands on him first and did most of the legwork. [ julie and nadine, jaskier had told him. geralt had made it to nott, and julie and nadine had done their work on him. sam's eyes drift to geralt's form again, watching him sleep for another moment. ] He was conscious, and responsive, and knew where he was and how he got here, but he's been through some kind of hell.
[ to put it lightly. sam shakes his head. ]
He's going to be out for a couple hours, at least. [ a beat, and then- ] You want a drink? [ he says, moving over to the little kitchen area he's got going - which is now, thanks to jaskier and sam's dual searching, in a huge mess. ] I think I'm gonna have a drink.
