[ Actually? Out of this damn castle sounds ideal. He's not used to being inside for as long as he has. What. Half a season now? Their brief push into the yard each day is a joke. Hardly counts.
He does notice Sam looking. Geralt's neither surprised nor does he say a word on it. He's too tired to pretend like it isn't still being a damn pain in the arse. Jaskier's magic (and isn't that a hell of a thing on its own) a couple weeks back has managed to soothe it, but the wound is still there. It's less of a limp now; more of the way he never really rests his weight on that leg when they stop or turn a corner.
When Sam finally brings it up, Geralt glances over briefly. It's hard to put into words what he feels now. What he remembers feeling then. (Contentment. A version of it.) ]
Mm. Same as it was. [ He's wondered about it. That when they returned, things had been the same. Hunger and thirst unchanged. As if their bodies hadn't noticed they'd been absent for over a week. Makes him think what else might be suspended while they're in there. Exactly what power does Thorne believe they can tap into? And at what point is their entry into it no longer deemed necessary to be conscious and voluntary? ] Hasn't gotten worse.
