[Geralt circles his arms around her. There's something a little tentative about it. As though he's afraid she'll leave if he holds on too tight. At the same time, he doesn't want her to go.
If he could keep her here with nothing but his strength, he would.
For the time being, he stays quiet, doing anything to keep the moment a little longer.]
(for now, she has no plans on moving from exactly where she is. but they both know this is about more than what either one of them may or may not want. still, she had told him she would stay and she doesn't plan on going back on that. she'd never say it out loud, but she's exhausted from trying to hold it all together alone.
after a few moments of stillness she presses a soft kiss against his bare chest, a silent thank you for understanding what she needed, and not judging her for it. it won't solve anything, but it had been helpful for a moment to feel like she was in control. that she was taking what she wanted, and that was wanted in return. to feel like she still has a choice.)
