[The attempt at a wink while wearing an eyepatch prompts Geralt to smile, which he hides behind his glass.]
Along with the scintillating knowledge of how much spit one can project during conversation, I imagine. Learned that one myself from pirates and their ilk.
[Geralt's own experience with pirates is limited. He's more prone to encountering the land variety of miscreants - bandits, and they don't have the benefit of water or a ship to give Geralt the opportunity to learn anything from them before being cut down.
He finishes off the last of his gin, then orders a bottle. If they're going to talk, they might as well do it over a few glasses.]
It's commonly thought that pirates wear eyepatches. Not true, in my experience, but perhaps they were fond of the irony?
[It's a roundabout way of asking about the eyepatch. Scars like that always have interesting stories, though Geralt won't press if he's not in the mood to divulge.]
