Quite Fascinating in Truth

The Meeting Had Ended on a High Note, Carneir's Research had proven to have A Great Bounty of Results. It would Allow Artur to Better Improve both Himself and the School of the Panther. Carneir's Research was most ideal for Enhancing Mutugens and Elixirs made by Witchers. He'd have to Test the Results of it in the Trials as well.

But at the Moment he was talking With Ida Emean Aep Sivney and Margarita Laux-Antille. Since He needed a Suitable Mage to assist with the Trials and He preffered them over Yennefer's Bitchy Qualities, Keira's Eccentricity, Triss's.........Trissness, and Fringilla's Legendary Coldness. He asked that they journey with him to The School and Assist him. They were more than happy to when he promised them unrestricted acess to his latest Research on the Properties in Magically Embued Crafting Materials. Margarita and Him had been Romantically Attracted to each other for Several Years, and though He was Currently in A Committed Relationship, He Still Cared For. Ida on the Other hand, Well she and Artur had Been Lovers in the Past, and He'd hoped that she could Make some More Understandable Translations on the Various Elder Speech Texts than Him. But He Had one Last Stop to Make..........

When he Arrived he found Geralt Sharpening his Swords.''Nice to see to Some Things Haven't Changed.'' Says Artur as Geralt Looks up and Smiles. ''Artur of Nilffaard As I live and Breathe.'' Says Geralt as he and Artur Embrace. ''It's Been Far Too Long My Friend. How's Life in Kovir For You?'' Asks Artur as Geralt Invites him to Sit down. ''Not Entirely as I Expected in Truth, Triss Lets me take on a Few Contracts Now and Again, bout the only thing that she Let's me do any time is Play Gwent. But What About You?

Turns out it was A Bruxae who Lured The Kin of People who had Wronged Her and Killed Them. Managed to Get A Nice Payout From Bedlam and the Local Garrison.'' Says Artur. ''How'd you Manage That? Bedlam I Can Understand But the Garrison? They’re A Bunch of Ornery Bastards.'' Says Geralt. ''Wasn't Easy Let Me Tell You, But their Captain had been one of the Beast's Victims, and They were more than happy to Pay me for the trouble.'' Says Artur as he Passes Geralt A Flask of Mandrake Root Infusion Brandy.

''Last I Heard Eskel was in Redania, as For Letho He said he'd be in Skellige Pursuing a Contract.'' Says Geralt. ''Well Thanks, I'll try and Track Down Eskel with some Divination Magic, as For Letho, Well I can usually persuade Cerys to my way of thinking. See you wolf.'' Says Artur as he Leaves. ''See You Cat.'' Says Geralt.

He found Eskel soon enough in battle against the Beast.......
