[ iorveth has never been the happy sort, he is old and filled with too much bitterness and anger for all that he has suffered. for all that the non-humans have suffered. so it shouldn't be much of a surprise when his mood flips at geralt's words and an dark scowl finds it's way to his features.

he respects geralt, he has proven himself a trustworthy ally in iorveth's eyes, the man may even be the closest thing to a friend that the old elf ever had. but it does not make him immune to his ire. ]

I do not hide, vatt'ghern. Do not mistaken me for a coward who prefers to do nothing. [ again a howl comes from deeper in the forest, low and feral. ] And you cannot prove that fighting this war will free either of us, they will plough us just as every other dh'oine before them.
