Calanthe, Geralt and others in “Unfinished Business”

Calanthe

Perhaps our esteemed guest can entertain us with how he slayed the elves at the edge of the world?

Geralt

There was no slaying. I had my arse kicked by a ragged band of elves. I was about to have my throat cut, when Filavandrel let me go.

But the song!

Jaskier

[through clenched teeth] Yeah, the song.

Geralt

At least when Filavandrel's blade kissed my throat I didn't shit myself, which is all I can hope for you good lords. [raises his tankard] At your final breath, a shitless death. [takes a drink; sotto voce] But I doubt it.
