[ there is enough in the question, and then the shake of geralt's head, that sam can pick up on what he doesn't ask. an acknowledgment, but without the direct question, and sam can't say he's not thankful for it. so many people showing up all at once has been...good, in many ways. complicated, in many others. he's still working through the whole steve rogers of it all, and having bucky here who is also working through it, having wanda, after the mess that was westview. and peter, peter who still hasn't told sam the full story...
did the festival come up at the best time in sam's life? no. does anything, ever, really happy at the best time in captain america's life? also no. so he takes the opportunity for what it is and rolls with it. if geralt asked, there was a chance that sam would actually have exploded with it, so he's honestly a bit glad he doesn't.
sam sighs and sinks a bit lower into the water. ]
It feels a bit like a joke, honestly. Having someone like the queen show up and talk about peace with her history...
[ and then there's a moment of silence, of sam's eyes turning to geralt. there's a flicker of concern, of knowing what could be on geralt's mind through all of this, and sam finds himself sitting up a bit. watching the other man for any sign of...well. anything. ]
You good?
[ with seeing the queen, with yennefer here, with everything that geralt's been dealing with all combined into a single, tense event. that he's still chosen to come to.
