Oh God, yeah. Sadly, we don’t have that a lot time collectively this season, however there’s an actual calm you (Liam Hemsworth) carry, and which I feel on this… and security that I feel I felt as an actor additionally, Yennefer wanted. She’s not scared for herself, however she’s afraid of one thing way more essential than her. And the one one that might most likely relate to that’s his Geralt. So yeah, I’d say that was performed by you. That was very useful.
