A few months have passed. Dandelion and Zoltan are making merry in the White Orchard tavern, chortling about past conquests. You refuse a flagon of hooch, since you promised you’d be at the huntsman’s cottage.
If you are romantically involved with Triss Merigold, she joins in the revelry at the tavern table.
If you are romantically involved with Yennefer of Vengerberg, she smiles at the festivities from the tavern table.
If you have no romantic entanglements at this point, there is an empty chair at the tavern table.
Time has passed, and it is chilly out. A thin blanket of soft snow shrouds the roads and thatched rooftops. A peasant is having trouble with his horse. Aid him (Secondary Quest: Faithful Friend, see page 205), or continue. You pass a peasant in the village. You might stop by for some of his wife’s pie later. Head roughly westward, out of the village, toward the hunter’s cottage on the outskirts. Mislav is outside, tanning a hide. He tells you “she” is eager to roam the fields, and learn the ways of the hunter. But she is too impatient.
