[ Whether he sees the woven baskets himself or Wanda shows him, there is one left for him at the treehouse with the name NEERO written in familiar, crude handwriting.
Inside are various little animal bones, shells, rocks and a very poorly made clay sculpture that perhaps Nero can assume is meant to be him - in one of its little arms is a long stick like a sword. ]

[the package is placed in nero's room, one morning, when he's already left the treehouse. there's no need to make this a secret, but wanda thinks it's more exciting if it's unexpected. hopefully he'll come around soon to see it. it's definitely big enough to pique the curiosity of the recipient as to open it as soon as possible, in any case. inside, an amount of homemade goods have been stacked atop each other: candles, soaps, and moisturizing lotions. these should be very familiar, as they are often seen around the treehouse.
something else lies wrapped, though, and once opened, it'll reveal itself to be a trenchcoat, like the one cool guys wear. it'll be useful for nero in whatever weather, rain or wind or sun or snow. hopefully he'll think it's cool enough for him.
a small note sits under the box.]

[ Geralt still has the claw and flower from the previous winter. There is no shortage of monsters to select from, but one that poses an actual challenge for Nero is a different question.
The beast that eventually shows up at Nero's palace is a manticore. The tip of its tail swells with a deadly venom. Another hourglass accompanies it. ]

[ On its own, Geralt would not have recognized the significance of the sword other than the ignition it bears and the wolves etched into the steel. But when he picks it up to examine it, a fine crack across the blade catches his eye. Nero did not, he realizes, give him this sword solely for wielding. Not exactly.
I stole my brother's sword...and then broke it, trying to fight a wall. Cracked it right in half.
He runs his thumb over the break. Hm.
The sword finds a home in the armoury, where the few surviving artefacts are stored. He places it next to the first silver blade forged for a Witcher. ]
