[ Dean only gets another vague grunt in return to that. Tired is something he does not remember a time when he did not feel. Sometimes it feels like he grew up fucking tired. Maybe he did. Does it really matter?
Probably not.
He does, in fact, stay—not for the entire time, but for an hour or so. Enough time to finish a bottle. Converse of nothing in particular. He senses Dean will go through a couple more bottles; Geralt is tempted, but while he's content to let himself get properly drunk in the Horizon, he's more cautious of it in the real world. As a general rule, he prefers to be what is not sober where humans are considered, but sober enough for a Witcher.
So before long, he slips out the door. Leaves Dean to it. He has people he needs to talk to—people he isn't certain are aware of what's been happening. ]
