The scene begins on a cold winter night, Geralt walks into a small village inn, noticing the stares of the inn’s inhabitants. Geralt walks over to a hooded figure seated on a table at the end of the inn.
Geralt: They were killed by a Leshen, went too deep into the woods
Hooded man: Ahh that is a shame, I told them not to go
Geralt: My reward?
Hooded man: Take it, you’ve earned it
The man gets up and leaves the inn, Geralt proceeds to wait while chugging down some Temerian Rye. Another dark figure approaches wearing a similar hood to the man before. The hooded figure takes the man’s place opposite Geralt revealing herself to be none other than Philippa Eilhart.
Geralt: It is good to see you again, Philippa
Philippa: I got no time for your jests Geralt
Geralt: Sorry
Philippa: Those witch hunters are everywhere
Geralt: What do you want me to do? Say hello and tell them to find a new job
Philippa: I feel sorry for Triss and Yen for having to listen to the things you say
Geralt pauses, with both he and Philippa being careful not to talk too loudly in front of others
Philippa: Let us meet up with the others and get out of this blasted joint!
Geralt: Agreed
Philippa and Geralt exit the inn, as they walk outside two figures wait for them, but they were not strangers nor bandits, instead they were Triss and Magarita,
Philippa: In the nick of time
Triss: Any news of Fringilla?
Phillipa: No it seems we must wait a little longer…Rita let’s make hast!
Phillipa and Rita jump on the horses before leaving Geralt and Triss outside the Inn, Geralt’s white hair then moves around as the breeze continued to pursue while rain started to sprinkle down, Triss decided to put her hood up.
Geralt: Greeting Triss
Triss: Nice to see you again, we should meet up with Yen at Novigrad
Geralt: She waiting for us?
Triss: With Ciri and Avallach
Geralt: Alright, first I have to find Roche at the Temerian camp first to discuss Radovid
Triss: Getting involved in politics again?
Geralt: Only this time, it is for you and Yen’s sake
Triss understood where the White Wolf was coming from
Triss: Want me to go with you?
Geralt: As always, I would love your company
The couple headed off to the Temerian camp as the rain died down. Their conversations were of bliss reminiscing of old times as well as what they have been up in the past six months – needless to say they were comfortable with each other.
The lovers arrived at the camp greeted by Roche and Ves.
Roche: What’s this, Triss been a long while since I last saw you!
Triss: How are you Roche?
Geralt: Djikstra sends word, tells you to meet him at the hideout according to this map
Roche: Excellent, but first Geralt I need your help
Geralt: What is it?
Roche: My soldiers have found and angered a Leshen nearby (Roche pauses for a second while looking down)…… it has killed three of my men already
Geralt: And I suppose you want me to get rid of it, correct?
Roche: Yes, you are the best tracker I know
Geralt hesitates
Geralt: Fine I’ll search for it, is there a reward involved?
Roche: No but Ves and I are willing to aid you, and we would owe you again
Geralt: ……Alright let’s get this over with
Triss: I’ll tag along
The group of four decided to spread out around 300 meters from the camp looking for the Leshen
Ves: Over here!
The other three urgently rushed to Ves
Ves: I found the totem
Geralt: Alright let’s lure it out
Geralt blasts the totem with his aard sign, suddenly a Leshen appears around the corner of a thin tree but the four were ready. They surrounded the Leshen with Triss hanging back casting some fireball signs, while Ves shot at it with a well-oiled crossbow, Roche and Geralt proceeded to attack the Leshen directly.
The Leshen backed away taking notice at Triss – out of nowhere the Leshen bent down and out of the ground a straight line of roots were hurled towards Triss knocking her down, The Leshen continued by transforming into a murder of crows before going straight at Ves also knocking her down. An angry Roche with the sound of steel on a Leshen slashed his sword repeatedly in the midsection, with Geralt’s silver sword strike eventually taking the Leshen down for good.
Roche: That wasn’t too bad, maybe I should trade my job to become a monster slayer
Geralt: It’s overrated
Ves and Triss walk over to the men
Roche: Ves you alright?
Ves: For the moment
Geralts gaze soon turned to Triss noticing a couple of small scratches and bruises. He asks Triss if she is alright
Triss: I’ll be fine, it is just like old times
Triss brushed herself off while Geralt smiles
Geralt: Yep just like old times, still you should have waited back at the camp
Triss: The sooner we got this done, the sooner we could head back to the rest of the lodge and Ciri!
Roche: I will attend to Djikstra, thanks for your help Geralt, I owe you one…… (He pauses)…again
The pair waved goodbye to Geralt and Triss who set off to meet up with Yen and Ciri in Dandelion’s Chameleon. They arrived late morning
Dandelion: Ahh Geralt and you come with Triss
Triss: Dandelion it is very good to see you again
Dandelion: I am relieved to see you safe and sound, you two set off on some grand adventure
Geralt: Something like that, where is Yen and Ciri?
Dandelion: Upstairs first room on the right
Geralt and Triss met up with the other two important women in Geralt’s life.
Yen: Geralt, Triss glad you both came, Avallach has gone off somewhere, should be back a day from now
Geralt turns to Triss and quietly says
Geralt: Triss let’s go into your room, I’ll patch up your wounds
Triss and Geralt leave the room they were just in, Ciri turns to Yen noticing the desolate look on Yen’s face
Ciri: It hurts doesn’t it?
Yen’s voice becomes softer
Yen: No, I’m just glad it is all cleared up
Ciri: You should be happy for them, it is what they want
Yen: I am
The tone of Yen’s voice rises back up to her normal self
Yen: Let’s change the subject
Ciri saw no point in continuing that discussion as there was nothing but dead ends so they moved on. Back to the other room, Geralt and Triss were seated opposite each other with Geralt wiping some of the blood off her arm
Geralt: See, all better
Triss turned defensive
Triss: I can handle myself Geralt, I survived for six months in the slum of Novigrad without you
Geralt: Hmm, but now I am back
Triss: Which you already know I am happy about
Geralt leans forward to kiss her on the forehead
The look on her face turned from being distant to one of embrace
Triss: I love it when you are here with me
Geralt: Well, you know we got a whole day to wait and a nice bed next to that…
Triss smiles after seeing the warm look on Geralt’s fact
Triss: Later when it is dark
Geralt: Can’t wait
Geralt then left continuing on with another contract he had, he returned to Triss later that evening, and from there the two just like in the lighthouse exchanged and expressed their passion for each other.
The next morning, Geralt woke up with Triss still asleep, Geralt proceeded to exit the Chameleon, and as he walked downstairs he saw Yen waiting at a table by herself. Geralt at that moment decided to have a chat with the powerful sorceress of Vengerberg.
Geralt: Yen? You still at the Chameleon?
Yen: I could ask you the same
Geralt jokes
Geralt: Yeah the beds here are lovely, beats sleeping next to a swamp
Yen: Yeah especially when you have a certain sorceress lying with you
Their conversation quickly erupted into one of confrontation
Geralt: Is this about Triss?
Yen: Now, what made you think that?
Geralt: Don’t play games Yen, you know how I feel
Yen: I know, I know, I am not trying to be bitter
Geralt: Something tells me you are
The look on Yen’s face turned to one of conflict, Geralt could sense her intentions and where this conversation was heading
Yen: Well ordinary folk would have a problem with a man who goes off to sleep with the best friend of his previous love
Geralt: I am not an ordinary folk’s man and you never came to find me, remember
Yen: What did you expect? For me to ride off to my Prince Charming, this isn’t a fairy-tale Geralt…
Geralt: I didn’t expect anything, you made your choice and Triss was there for me, now I made my choice
Yen: Well then I wish you both the best in your relationship
Both Yen and Geralt were like two alpha wolves unwilling to back down at first, Yen however saw that there was no need for an argument especially with their priorities sharing a common goal. The hostile discussion ended at the point where Yen got up to leave as both knew that for the best and for them to remain friends, the conversation had to end at that point.
Ok so i was working on my essay on dietetics and the role fibre plays in colon cancer using randomised controlled trials and yes it is as boring as it sounds, so i decided to do a bit more fanfiction/dialogue/me being biased for Geralt and Triss and i wrote this on the side - it is very long and the forum wouldn't let me attach it as a word document, so i am very sorry for the length
You should add all your writing up into a single doc. I will love to read them over and over. Good stuff, very good stuff
