@trustinginthelight said : Of course Jaskier is lured in by the sound. It's a beautiful vocalise, difficult for most to ignore. Why it was coming from so far onto land, though, was confusing. What was a siren doing here? Wherever they were, though, Jaskier was clearly leading Geralt straight to them. As Jaskier finally approached, the source of the siren call sat relatively unbothered. A white-blonde haired young woman sat on a branch of tree, dressed in expensive looking clothing.
geralt couldn’t say he was surprised in the slightest by jaskier’s behaviour . he could hear it too . in fact , he’d clearly heard it much earlier than jaskier , given by the way they had managed to stay their course for several good minutes before jaskier had pulled away and headed off . the witcher’s complaints only possible , he assumed , by the mutations that ran through him and rendered the siren song nearly ineffective hadn’t done much good . the bard was intent on going towards the voice , no matter what the consequences , no matter how muddied and difficult the terrain was . roach , too , protested as geralt was forced to tug her around the trees and through the thicker foliage , but she came anyways .
when they finally arrived , geralt still as close as he could manage to stay behind jaskier , he spotted the young woman quite quickly . her appearance , too , he wasn’t surprised about . she looked elegant , very much the picture of her beautiful voice . but her location ? that was something to question .
❛ jaskier , ❜ hissed the witcher , reaching for his forearm . ❛ don’t get any closer . ❜
