No, I don't want that now.

[Nadine is certain of that, at least. It had been a defense mechanism, in a way. Be like him and all the guilt and shame and doubt would go away. Without him, without his influence...it's all different.

She's different.]

But sometimes the fact that I'm capable of wanting that...bothers me. Which I guess is a good sign. A decent person would be bothered by that.

[ A question exists of how much Nadine can even be held responsible for the things she wanted, the things she did and tried to do—but Geralt knows it'll not ever make a difference for how she feels. There's no point in asking it. Or trying to answer it.

Absolving blame never quite helps, in his experience. It's a case of moving on how you can. ]

You are. Just as you're capable of wanting better things. [ He glances at her little pony. (Technically, a large pony.) ] Besides, your horse is fond. They have good instincts. Like I do.
