Weirdly enough his anger calms Lambert.

Communal meals have always been a big part of their family life so when Vesemir's boys grew up into young men and when one after the other moved out of his house, they developed a kind of routine around the mealtimes.

Monday mornings were reserved for breakfast at Geralt's. Having two teenage daughters meant that Monday mornings were a time of dramatic sighs, rolled eyes and the chanting of "I don't want to go to school" over and over again. So Geralt had started doing the one thing that always made him feel better, he invited his family for breakfast and started cooking. It became a tradition very quickly and soon his girls were looking forward to Monday mornings.

Saturday was a day spend at Vesemir's. Thanks to being a kindergarten teacher, Jaskier didn't have to work on the weekends and so it fell into his hands to pick up all the kids in the morning and then drive them to the family farm. They'd spend most of the day together, helping Vesemir with the livestock and in the garden, played games and did their homework. The others would arrive once they got off work and around dinner time everyone was present around the big dining table.

Lunch at Lambert's was reserved for special occasions, like the holidays or birthdays, promotions or good grades. The youngest brother was a perfectionist when it came to these meals, always spending hours in the kitchen, preparing incredible tasty food. It was one of the easiest and for him most comfortable ways he could tell his family that he loved them. They all knew of course, but seeing their faces light up whenever they tasted a new dish or found their favorite right in front of them, let Lambert know that he had made them happy.

Tea Time with Eskel is as adorable as it sounds. A tradition that started when Vesemir's boys where still playing with plastic cups and became a more and more regularly thing once Eskel discovered his love for baking when he was around twelve years old. Most of the times it's something that is just reserved for Eskel, Geralt and Lambert, but over the years it has become a sort of "important discussion meeting". Lambert admitting he had a crush on a boy for the first time, Geralt finding out he liked both boys and girls, them coming out to Vesemir, said one telling them that they would move from their two bedroom flat into a big farmhouse, Geralt telling them about the pregnancy, getting to meet Aiden and later Jaskier for the first time; all those conversations happened during Tea Time.
