He raised his eyes to Amalthea. They were no more alien than they usually were, a single truth that Geralt found comforting. But his face had an even more unnatural pallor, a grey, where it had once been pink.
"Nothing that wasn't already done to me by men."
And that was the truth. Whatever was being expressed was already inside of him. It was no different, in a way, than balding, or freckles. An outward manifestation of a genetic truth.
