@ Geralt - start of Dec.

[rinwell]

Hey! Don't bite me!

[ The reproof in the voice that carries through the stables is tinged with mirth, and is answered by equine nickering. A velvet nose sticks over the stall door, before ducking back in, and a second 'Hey!' is answered by a third voice, light chirping chuckling quietly.

No doubt Geralt hadn't actually intended for Rinwell to take his suggestion about caring for his horse to this degree. But when it had been a means to help Ciri and Jaskier during the Witcher's prolonged absence, Rinwell had quietly thanked the ranch training she'd received and helped with back home. It has taken these past few weeks to build the rapport she now shares with this horse; no doubt Law would laugh at her for this after how she teased him over his bond with the pigs, sheep and cows, but..

But Rinwell has been surprised by how much she likes the work, the focus on caring for Roach. And even keeping things...well, perhaps 'tidy' is a bit much to hope for as the apartment continues to fill with more people than rooms, but she has been hoping her own small contributions go some way to help.

(No one has touched the small container in the cold box, per her note, for which she is grateful - getting the ice cream to set correctly has taken much trial and error, and it's still not quite right!)

So it is that she's fully distracted in her current 'argument' - getting Roach to lift her feet so she can check and clean her hooves. Anyone passing the stables rented by the Witchers could slip in unannounced, just in time to overhear the third "voice" as it pipes up again, more soft 'hoohoos' of laughter, and the exasperated sigh received in response. ]

You're supposed to be on my side.

Backdate to Nov, a temporary roommate sighting

[One member of the household has disappeared, and the search for him has kept his worldmates occupied. Hector has already stayed longer than he meant to here, but he's reluctant to leave Jaskier to fret over Geralt on his own. So he rattles around the house while Jaskier and Ciri go out searching. It doesn't take long to run into the house's final occupant.

Hector is in the kitchen, putting on a pot of stew that he can leave simmering in case Jaskier and Ciri come back hungry this evening. It's nothing fancy, but it'll fuel them for another day's search. His reanimated fox sits near his feet, and he occasionally tosses a scrap of meat or an end of a vegetable down for the creature to chew on.]

during the festival of enlightenment.

[ Ciri sweeps into the room with conviction, ready to pull Rinwell out from whatever corner she might be sulking in, hands on her hips and jaw set. Maybe it's unkind to think of it that way, but it's been bothering her the last couple of days how unhappy Rinwell has seemed, how she doesn't want to go out while the whole city's strung up with lights and silly inventions. A distraction is in order. For both of them. ]

Rinwell! Get your boots and coat on. We're going out.
