[ To be fair, Ciri also doesn't know about the possibility of those side effects-- but she'd have taken the risk, in all likelihood. As it stands, all she knows is that Caitlyn meticulously cut the thorns from her wounds, and since then, she's been regaining her strength bit by bit. Even the recurring visions have stopped, letting her actually sleep for more than an hour at a time.
She has to go slowly to make sure she's thorough. The blood obscures visibility, but she's got some cloth to blot at it with as well as Geralt's attempts. None of it is particularly sanitary, but... well. They haven't got much to work with. Geralt's wounds are worse than hers were; luckily, he's also made a lot sturdier, even if it still hurts like fuck.
At some point, Ciri looks up from her work and notices his face with a small start. She pauses, taking the time to wipe the blood again and give them both a short break. Lets out a shaky breath. Stretches her hands and wipes off the knife. ]
...Geralt? [ Gently. Making sure he still recognizes her, mostly, considering the fact others have been losing themselves and attacking allies. She'd attacked Claude herself without realizing it was him right away.
Best to make sure the situation doesn't veer off into something even more unpleasant.

Ciri places her free hand on his knee. ]
