[ Ciri nods again, pausing to reach over and pull closer the salve Geralt has been making from some of the plants found around. It's been useful, considering the conditions down here and Geralt's own injuries. And he is right -- there is some left ready on a wide, flat leaf.
With it within reach, Ciri first pokes the knife through the sleeve of her blouse, making a hole from which to tear the rest of it off beneath the elbow. Then, she readies her knife, running it over the flame of the fire beside them, and examines the injury. The hanging skin just needs to be cut off; it won't be pleasant, but it won't take too long either. Ciri holds the part that needs to be removed and quickly slices through the base of it still attached to Geralt's hand.
The salve is smeared on top, before she bandages it as well as she can with the strip of her shirt sleeve. It's not a very clean job, but it'll stop the bleeding. For now, that's all any of them can really manage. ]
How's that? [ she asks, gently. ] Not too tight?
[ Even though it's clear it's not really the injury that's got Geralt so addled, there's nothing else Ciri can physically tend to. All she can offer is minor assistance like this, and encouraging him to rest. Keeping watch while he does. ]
