Witchers, despite popular belief, were capable of working in pairs at times, to ensure success on a contract. Geralt had worked with all of the remaining witchers of the Wolf school, in fact.
There were no other witchers in Darrow, from the Wolf school or otherwise. And, in fact, when Geralt realized after a first miserable failure that he would need the help of another to kill the kelpie from the beach, Geralt knew of only one man in particular that he considered a capable second.
He showed at the man's place in the early afternoon on a Sunday. He could tell he was there, the scent of him intermingling on the property with others. Wild herbs and flowers, nearby trees, at least one cat. There was human, also at least one, and there was the remnants of whatever had been cooked for breakfast that morning. Geralt was reminded he hadn't eaten yet that day himself, and that he ought to see if he couldn't find a rabbit or pheasant later.
Geralt gave his customary rap on the thick wooden door, two heavy bangs with his knuckles. He waited, patient, while watching a grackle chatter on the nearby stone garden wall.
