[ The tension in Sam is palpable. Geralt waits it out, same as he often does. There's no imminent danger. What he's found is old. Whether it's important or merely a coincidence, he wants to be sure of what he's looking at before he does anything else. Before he says anything else. Nothing's more dangerous than rumours spreading from hasty conclusions. He knows, better than anyone, how something of this nature can be manipulated to drive further tensions, provoke lurking fears.
Having someone examine the remains is the first step. Getting past that blockage is the second. From there—he'll see what he uncovers. If it's worth seeking further. He at least wants to look at what's behind that door.

If Sam says Tony is who to ask, Geralt will take his word. (That Sam appears exhausted by the mere sound of Tony's name is something he'll keep in mind.)
The whole meeting. Mm. About that. Geralt glances towards where he can hear voices outside. If he focuses, he can make out snippets of conversation: balloon animals, speech speech, the distinct exasperation of Stephen's voice—
He looks back at Sam. ] I'll find him when I've returned to Cadens.
