[ He only told a handful of people about his broken bond with Geralt, mostly those he knew that knew him. Caster was the first he told during their captivity; even thinking about it now sends him back to that place. Berserker stiffens as the memories come flooding back, his hands starting to shake. His voice is uncharacteristically quiet when he finally speaks again. ]
I don't know if you knew Geralt, but...the night we were kidnapped, our bond severed. That's why it was so hard for me to endure the torture. There was an emptiness I could do nothing about and to know he wouldn't be there when I came back...
[ At least he never saw what happened to Berserker in that place; that's the only comfort he could get from that time. ]
Flat disappearing...doesn't hurt as bad. You can understand why.
[Enkidu can feel how the other freezes against them and for that moment they frown a little. And when he finally speaks they try to paint a picture of such cruelty. Yes, that is quite cruel and they're not sure if speeches about souls and growth are in order.
Compassion might be better.]
I haven't known him but I think I understand how severe this must have been for you. I hope you will not endure it again. [A sigh.] Despite the fact that this place is cruel. I may hope that the pleasure I have given you has been able to soothe some of that pain.
[They don't think so since it was mostly desperate and born from the simple need to feel someone, to have some sort of connection.]
Hmm... Your bond might developed different. A different sort of friendship.
