Mm. I have been able to achieve fairly consistent results with them. [ She's not sure if she's doing exactly what Geralt is, but channeling the chaos in these very specific, narrow ways has come more easily than trying to use magic here in general. Jaskier still has the scar to show for her mishaps previously, when she'd hoped she might be able to actually learn some magic here. What she can do with the portals, and with the raw power of her screams, it isn't like what Yennefer can do, or even Jaskier here. At least, that's what Ciri's decided, and if it's a mental block alone, it's a particularly ingrained one by now.
But she's sick of talking about magic, and thankfully the conversation is cut short soon enough when they begin to approach the nest. The set of Ciri's shoulders visibly eases at the prospect of a basilisk nest as opposed to more discussion of her abilities or lack thereof.
Ciri nods, and when they get a little closer, she hops off Nixie and secures her nearby. With the sun still too high in the sky for the basilisks to consider emerging, Ciri lays out a plan that involves preparing some smoke bombs to drive the beasts out and stun them a bit. It's much easier swinging a sword around not in tiny underground runnels after all. ]
