[ A leash it is. Curfew's not the tightest hold on someone, but it still indicates the Free Cities believes they own these people they've summoned. That they're now under the rules of a place they never asked to be in. ]
Couple hours. [ Sorry, Cloud. Horse travel can only go so fast, and the wagons tend to be loaded down with inventory and people.
Gerat's eyes follow Cloud's. Hm. He thinks he knows what's going on through the other man's mind, if only because it'd be what's going through his, too. He'd been brought here under different circumstances, and alongside Jaskier, who he hadn't wanted to leave behind—but if he'd been here, alone? Out in the wilderness? Yeah. He'd have considered taking his chances. Except he knows more about this world now. And he knows exactly the distance between one city-state to the next. ]
Don't bother. You'll only run into a few months' worth of mountains. Even I'd have a shit time crossing on foot.
[ Geralt does not elaborate on that statement, but the way he says it, it's a fact not an opinion: if even he doesn't believe he can make it, almost no one else could. ]
