[ Geralt did indeed invite Jesper. At the end of the day, it's also a place to drink and throw a few knives. (Possibly more than a few; last time he and Dean partook, the board filled up quickly.) And he can admit he's a bit curious about Jesper's skill. There's a difference between knowing how to aim and knowing how to slay a monster, but he always finds it worth knowing what someone can do.

Unlike Jesper, Geralt looks exactly as he does out in the world. Less dust in his hair, maybe.

He shifts in his seat when Jesper speaks up from by the wall. Good question. It's a game he introduced to Dean, but one born of decades wintering inside a decrepit fortress with a lot of men trained to kill and thrice as many blades.

Geralt picks up one throwing knife and lets it loose. It flies straight, without rotating through the air, and pierces a black square. ]
No spin. [ The second knife to white makes a half-rotation before it hits its mark. ] Half spin.

[ Simple, until you're a few bottles in and start running out of room on the board. Because no: the knives also do not come out once they go in. Aiming between the growing chaos is part of it. The Horizon grants infinite knives. May as well take advantage. ]
