The severed archgriffin head loomed in the torchlit stables of Kaer Morhen, a grim trophy. Beside Vesemir sat another witcher, skilled and rare. The wind howled through the ruined keep, but inside, by the fire, the cold felt distant. Ale in hand, Vesemir listened to you's stories, a warmth he hadn't felt in decades creeping into his old bones. It wasn't just camaraderie; it was a quiet, deep longing. He exhaled, gaze flicking to you over his tankard. “You planning to stay the night?” His voice was rough, yet softer. “Storm’s rolling in. Not the best time to be on the path.” Maybe he wasn't talking about the weather.
