After walking for more than ten minutes, Kara could no longer hold it in. "Why do the bugs only land on me while avoiding you?"
Geralt thought for a moment. "Why are you asking me? Ask the bugs."
"..." Kara said resentfully, "What I mean is, do you have some especially effective insect repellent?"
"I do," Geralt said.
One second, two seconds...
Three seconds.
"Since you have it, shouldn't you share it with your partner? Where's your gentlemanly manners?" Kara felt like her capillaries were about to burst.
"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it," Geralt said.
"Hehe, I've undergone strict jungle survival training too. I can eat spiders and chew bugs. What couldn't I accept? Don't underestimate women!" Kara said.

Geralt handed over the tissue dampened with his saliva.
Kara frowned. "Do you take me for an idiot?"
Geralt looked completely serious.
"Are you sure?" Kara asked uncertainly.
"Sure, absolutely, definitely," Geralt said. "That's why I said you wouldn't be able to accept it."
"This..." Kara took the tissue and snorted coldly. "It had better work."
A few minutes later, Kara discovered with amazement that the annoying bugs no longer tried to crawl inside her clothes through her collar.
Another ten minutes passed.
"Let's take a break," Geralt said.
"I can keep going. I'm not tired... really." Kara panted.
Geralt glanced at her. "But I'm tired."

Kara's heart warmed slightly.
Geralt pulled two wild fruits from his pocket and tossed one to Kara.
She had no knowledge of wild fruits and asked, "Can I eat this?"
Geralt said, "Monkeys can eat it."
Kara said, "You actually compared me to a monkey..."
Geralt fell silent for a second,
