Geralt has sort of set some wheels in motion (against his better judgment?? despite his better judgment?? who knows, but he did it) re: politics with the free cities and thorne, and i think given recent events in the mines, he's beginning to trust claude more (currently, the people involved are jaskier, sam, istredd, and thancred. there is no murder happening YET but. who can say).

if you wanted to be folded into all that lmk! he'd be willing to talk to claude more than others for sure, esp since claude has been repping for a few months alongside sam and geralt trusts sam's judge of character, too.
