Eskel was telling the hilarious story of a Contract he had when Geralt returned with food.
"Didn't listen, did he?" Lambert laughed.
"They never do."
"What're you talking about?" Geralt asked as he set the food down.
"Samovila contract Eskel got a while back. Good story."
"Funny one, too," Juray added.
"Finish it in a minute," Eskel said. "First, some more fuel."
All four took a drink, Geralt unaware that Lambert was mixing drinks.
"Ooooo... Now that's a kick in the liver..." Geralt said. "What is it?"
"'The Gauntlet'," Lambert answered. "Equal parts spirit and White Gull."
Geralt just gave him a look.
"What's that look about? Yen's gone to bed, time for some serious drinking."
"Damn straight!" Eskel agreed.
"Pour us another," Juray said with a grin. "Bottoms up!"
"So, what's this about a samovila?" Geralt asked.
"Snared this peasant in her dance," Eskel continued his story. "Instead of bein' happy he escaped with his life, yokel fell head over heels in love. Wanted me to trap her. Turned him down, so he tried it on his own, with a fishing net. Bet you they're still dancing a mazurka in some fallow field."
"Great story," Lambert said. "With a moral, too!"
"Really?" Geralt asked. "What's that?"
"Stay away from dangerous women."
"Will you ever lay off Yen?"
"Yeah. Soon as I trust her."
"You'd brave a fire for her...," Eskel said. "Whereas she plays you like a cheap fiddle. Way it's always been."
"He's not wrong," Juray added.
"Listen to you godsdamn relationship experts. None of you's been with a sorceress..."
"For good reason..." Eskel said.
"Of course not," Juray said. "I don't tend to go for sorceresses myself."
"You just go for nobles," Lambert teased.
"Look who's talking."
"Fine, leave pretty boy alone before he gets grumpy. Already has that pouty look on his face. Can't stand it."
Geralt gave Lambert a look.
"Drink up, Geralt. To you and Yen – happily ever after!" Lambert held his mug up and they all drank. "Brr... Colder'n up an ice giant's ass in here."
"You fuck one of those too?"
Lambert gave Juray the middle finger. "Gentlemen, I shall return. Gotta go drain the dragon."
"Must be a baby dragon."
Geralt and Eskel laughed as Lambert stumbled off.
