The path slowly turns more rocky, less traveled and Eskel looks back at Simon,
"You warmer now?"
Simon nods and Eskel's lip twitches. Hopping down from his horse and offering a hand to Simon to help him, Simon scrambling down from the huge animal and Max looks at Eskel,
"How much longer?"
"Not much" Eskel says and he grabs his horses reins, leading him off and the three follow, Tatiana rolling her eyes.
Eskel leads them until they reach a crumbling castle. It looks half abandoned and Tatiana stops on the bridge to the doors,
"I don't trust this" She announces and Eskel looks back at her,
"Why not?"
"We just met you and you're leading us to some...keep? I don't-" Tatiana is cut off by Eskel being tackled by another man. His horse looking at the two scuffling men and shaking its head, walking the rest of the way to the keep.
The other man, currently struggling to get unpinned from Eskel, looks much different. He has dark hair and stubble, three long scars on one side of his face and he signs something with his hand that sends Eskel flying into the side of the bridge.
"You cheated!" Eskel yells and the man stands up, dusting off his pants,
"And you were trying to suffocate me!"
"You tackled me!"
" Both of you shut up"
Max turns to look at the newcomer only for his jaw to drop.
He looks much like Eskel. One scar going down the side of his face however and instead of shaggy brown hair, he has long silvery hair. He's just as muscular as the other two Witcher's and Max wants to climb him like a tree.
"Who are you two?" Tatiana half demands and the darker haired one looks at them, his eyebrows shooting up,
"Eskel? Why did you bring people?"
"Their home burned and they have no money" Eskel said, rubbing his head, "I wasn't going to let them freeze to death over winter Lambert"
The one apparently named Lambert rolls his eyes, "Usually it's Geralt bringing in strays"
"I brought one and he is my friend" the silvery haired one said in a rumbling voice and Lambert once again rolls his eyes, Eskel copying the action and looking at the three,
"These are my brothers, Lambert and Geralt, Lambert? Geralt? Tatiana, Max and Simon"
They all wave at each other but Lambert and Tatiana. Eskel sighs,
"We should probably go see Vesemir" He said before walking up the bridge. Lambert slowly tearing his eyes away from the three to follow and Geralt stays.
Max looks at his friends before shrugging and heading up with the Witcher's. Tatiana looking to Simon who sighs and follows Max, the woman rolling her eyes and heading up. Geralt following behind into the keep.
