It was good that Cremisius showed up when he did, because Geralt was not certain what to say to Gannicus' response. The Skelligers took slaves, and the Nilfgaardians. But Geralt had never known one, personally. His line of work, which required he be paid a fair bounty for his contract, didn't often take him into meetings with men who belonged to other men.
But the entire idea was, of course, anathema to Geralt. And everything he believed in.
And that was why he was not certain his opines would be wanted, or suited to casual conversation.
He only gave Gannicus a look of grave sympathy before moving his eyes to Cremisius, where he stood, stretching.
"Looking to buy a horse. Needed to know if I could find somewhere to hold her over winter before I went further. The Iron Bull mentioned that I might find a stable here, provided I was willing to trade some time for it."
