[ Now it's Geralt's turn to pause, unclear of the term. It is home, but he senses that isn't how Steve is using the word. He doesn't reply just yet, choosing to focus instead on the more pressing situation: the odd space they've stepped into, that Steve says he knows.
When they've escaped, he needs to ask Steve about what in the hell exists in his world.
He can hear it, scuttling and claws and strange squelching. Footsteps and heartbeats. His brows furrow. Up it is. If Steve knows an opening, that's the most ideal path. After a second, he shuffles to the side to let Steve take the lead. It's between that or leaving the boy to bring up the rear. Point seems to be the safer position, where Steve can see what's ahead.
Besides, if he's right, there's no turning back. The attic will be filled with the same substance outside by now. ]
The keep. In the Horizon, where we train. We call it Kaer Morhen.
