Not directly. [ Mostly just leaving them to fend for themselves. He doesn't like it. There's a tension in the air. Like they are gathering chattel. With the common folk taken, as well, it must be much more than anything to do with the Summoned. Last time, Thorne had targeted him. This time, he suspects he's simply been swept up. Wrong place, wrong fucking time.
He had not meant to worry Ciri by disappearing again. But he'd have never let them take Rinwell. Except Ciri has been taken instead. He'd had zero plans of lingering in this shithole, but it's different with Ciri involved. Now he needs to get her out of here before something happens to her. He doesn't care how many fall along the way. ]
