I put on my boots and tied them up before standing up again and strapping up. I tied my hair back to a ponytail and put on my mask around my neck again, but I kept it low. I felt his eyes look at me as he puts clothes on as well.

"So." He started and I rolled my eyes at it as I strapped my blade to my side.

"Nothing happened. Period." I told him and turned around to see his face look at me with utter confusion and disbelief.

"Nothing happened?" He looks at me like I grew two heads. I shook my head and crossed my arms.

"Look, it was a mistake doing it. Alright?" I told him as he chuckles humorlessly and looked to the side rubbing under his chin.

"A mistake. Hm. Always a mistake." He chuckles again and strapped his belt before grabbing his blade on the ground next to me before looking towards me.

"Is that all?" He asked standing closely in front of me. My heart began to pound fast as I looked at him. A lump on my throat stayed there as I gulped it down and kept looking at his eyes and nowhere else.

"Tell me. Is it a mistake?" He asked walking closer causing for me to step back a bit.

"Yes." I said staring into his eyes. He looked at me for a moment before backing away and chuckling.

"I see." He mumbles and turns around walking away. I sighed deeply to calm myself down before I followed behind him, but I kept my distant. We walked back to camp when he suddenly stopped causing for me to stop as well. He turns around to face me with an angry expression on his face.

"So, your telling me that. What we did was nothing, but an emotionless one? You didn't feel anything at all?" He asked and I stayed quiet looking at him with a blank expression. I can't show him my true emotions and I don't want to put his life in deep danger.

"Yes." I said again and he sighs looking at me before shaking his head clicking his tongue. He turns and continues walking while I stayed behind clenching my fist. I took a deep breath and put on my mask as I walk back to camp. I start taking down the campfire to keep our tracks from being followed by those lurking.

He folds the cloth as I stood by and looked around the forest to see if I spot anyone. I turned around to see him strapping his armor on before untying the rein off the tree branch. He looks at me for a moments before hopping on the horse in silence. I could feel anger and another emotion radiating off him. He held his hand out towards me as I looked at him before taking it as he helps me on on horse. I hesitantly wrap my arms around his waist as he guides the rein.

We traveled for a while until we stopped in a town that seemed lively. He gets off first and I did the same as I feel eyes on us. I followed behind him holding the end of my sword as we walked towards a stable. He ties the rein on the pole and walked away as I followed behind with distant. I feel eyes on us as we pass by other humans and I hear whispers from them as well.

Who's that woman with The Witcher?

Is she another whore of his?

She looks like an assassin with that clothing.

She look so kinda young.

And so on so forth. We walked inside a tavern as everyone there had fun. Geralt walked towards a corner of the room and I made my way towards the bar. The bard plays The Witcher's theme song as I raised my hand towards the very familiar barkeep as he made his way towards me.

"What can I get ya?" He asked with a thick accent. I took my mask off as his eyes widen a bit seeing my face.

"Aren't ya-" He starts and I placed my index finger on my lip motioning for him shush. He nods understandingly before smiling a little.

"So, what can I get ya?" He asked again a little softer this time.

"Strongest you got and that man over there." I looked behind me towards Geralt to see him interacting with disgusting women. He smirks towards them as he talks to them while they touch him all over. I felt a pain on my chest as my blood boils with anger suddenly before I turned back towards the barkeep.

"Beer." I said and he looks at me for a moment before nodding his head and walking away. He places one cup in front of me and walked away. Moments later, he came back as I slowly opened my side pocket to place my money down before I saw shake his head at me and giving me smile.

"Its on the house. I do remember how you helped me and my family. Without your help, we might not have opened a tavern. I am on your depth." He tells me and I smiled liking him as I moved my hand away and leaned forward. I grabbed the cup and held it up showing my appreciation before chugging it all down.

"Thanks. Mind giving me more?" I chuckled making him laugh and nod as he grabs my cup and walk away. I hear laughter behind me when I felt a hand wrapped around my shoulder.

"Aren't you a pretty thing. Maybe, we can go to my place and have fun with me and my friends?" The man asked smelling like alcohol and I scrunched up my nose in disgust.

"Look, sir. If you don't get your filthy hand of me right now, I will personally break it." I threatened as I glared at him. He chuckles thinking that its a game.

"Oh come on, don't play like that. I wanna show a lady like yourself a good time." He smirks and leaned in, but I held him by his throat and stood up from mine as I lifted him up no problem.

"Listen here, drunk bastard. I am not any other lady you could seduce with your drunk disgusting face. And another thing, I am a woman not a lady. So, leave me alone or I will send you to the depths of hell." I growled and dropping him hard to the floor before walking away to return to my seat.

"You whore!" I heard him shout as I felt him go for a punch and I stepped aside grabbing his wrist.

"Wrong choice." I mumbled and back kicked him to where it hurts before throwing him to a wall. I heard a shout as another man went to attack me and I quickly blocked it before lifting my foot high towards his face and kick him quickly.

Two more men came to attack me as I did a split when they drunkenly hit the the air and I sent a fist to their crouch causing for them to crunch over cover themselves before I flipped back up kicking their faces in the processes of doing do as the flip as well and land on their faces. I stood up and dusted myself when I hear another shout behind me causing for me to take my dagger out from side and stabbed the man on his side to injure him. He groans as I slid my blade out and grabbed one of them on the floor wiping the blood off of it before sheathing it.

I sighed heavily looking around to see that I fought 4 drunken men. I turned around as my drink was already on the counter. I grabbed it and chugged it all down before wiping my mouth and dropping the cup down to one of the drunken men. The bard began playing again as some men began to talk to themselves as well.

"You alright?" I heard Geralt's voice asked as I turned looking at him to see him made his way towards me. The three women he was with glared at me with jealousy causing for me to roll my eyes.

"Don't ask me the question when there are...these." I motioned the four men on the floor.

"I'm gonna go and find a place to sleep. Go back to your ladies." I sneered at the word as I began to walk out of the tavern.
