[ Four. Geralt resist the urge to rub his temple. Perhaps Nero can sense it in him nonetheless. He supposes in Nero's defense—somewhat—one can't anticipate a friend hacking off an arm in apparent mistake.
He studies Nero for a second longer, then shifts his gaze forward. He nods. Sounds right. In his experience, that's what he's found, too. Cults are aplenty in small villages, isolated towns, even pockets in larger cities. Geralt, for the most part, steers clear of them. A problem for the humans to solve, not him. Unless one of them happens to be summoning monsters, which happens on occasion.
If the disappearances are as frequent as Nero is saying, then Solvunn must be brash about it. They must not care if anyone suspects, because no one will do anything about it. And that means it's rooted deep in their ways. ]
Not everyone wants to be saved. [ He says it quietly. It is not a warning. Not discouragement. If this is the environment Nero grew up in, then he will already know. It's a reminder. That ofttimes, little can be done for those who won't help themselves. ] How many of the other Summoned have you spoken to about this?
[ Nothing like grease to a fire, when folk who only want an excuse to start shit find one. There's a difference between wanting to save lives and wanting to destroy an entire village's way of being. ]
