It's a shame that so few people in the fandom talk about this quest ("The Final Trial"), or at least these two lines of dialogue.

The quest does an excellent job of showing why Lambert is the way he is. It gives us insight into his worldview, his values, and what he believes he is owed after what Destiny has taken from him (even though he openly claims not to believe in it).

I also think it would be interesting to analyze this quest alongside "Following the Thread", since he mentions drinking alone earlier (Geralt doesn't ask him about it, which is a shame [*1]), and we know how important Aiden was to him. Perhaps it was the loss of friends like Aiden (and Coën?) that made him even more cynical and sarcastic than he is in the books (at least to me it seems so).

This particular quest, however, also shows why he dislikes Vesemir and deliberately avoids him. Lambert is his Child of Surprise, and I’ve never seen anyone mention it in fanfics or posts.

Prompt 71

The other witchers at Kaer Morhen have always grown tired of Geralt's random moodswings and bouts of gloom and grumpiness during the winter. He'd be happy and carefree, safe in his home, and then some dark thought would crest in his mind, and for a few days straight, he'd be in a horrible mood. When one year he brings his bard with him, they realize the moodswings have disappeared completely. That is, until Jaskier starts trying to "bond" with them all and spends less time with Geralt. Then all of a sudden the snarls and snaps from Geralt are back. One day, Lambert gets tired of Geralt's sass, and shoves Jaskier at him, and they're all amazed when Geralt loses his bad mood and instead chooses to carry his bard off to cuddle in front of the fireplace. Nuzzling him and purring the whole time. Thus commences a new rule of Kaer Morhen. If you spot Geralt being pissy, you chuck the bard at him. Jaskier has been taken away from a meal, a game of gwent, his chores, his bed while asleep, and one especially embarrassing time he was taken from a bath. Jaskier is quite alright with the new rule, as it always ends in deligthtful Geralt cuddles, but sometimes he wishes Geralt would just find Jaskier instead of moping when he misses him.

Lambert: I think Geralt should be celibate from now on

Vesemir: Why are you concerned about Geralt's sex life?

Lambert: He's a crazy magnet. Wanting Geralt is a red flag. Name one person he's slept with who isn't nuts

Eskel: Jaskier?

Lambert: Look me in my eyes and tell me that little grackle wouldn't commit regicide if he thought he could get away with it
