[ sam hovers over jaskier for as long as he thinks he can, trying to help him get comfortable, to make sure everything was settled and stable and that for all that sam could check, where he was, jaskier was okay. he had to go through the motions of checking the vitals all the same, even if explaining each step to jaskier felt a little silly, and once he got something close to broth into jaskier's stomach and he was settled into bed, he shifts his attention to geralt. to the slumbering mass of a man perched on his couch.
there were so many questions that sam wanted to ask - about what happened, about how dangerous things got, about how geralt knew that would work in the first place and why he hadn't just done it himself - but he watches geralt sleep for a few more minutes before he grabs his things and heads out the door, locking it behind him as he goes. he can ask geralt about everything later, but first he has to check on the last leg of the group, ciri, who sam wasn't exactly sure how she was involved with his, but he'd seen the guilt in her face when she approached him with jaskier in her arms. saw the way she backed out of the room, when jaskier's state had taken the downturn.
now that sam was confident in the stability of both jaskier and sam, he steps out of the small in and - as if being called - red cuts across the sky to land on his shoulder. sam reaches up to scratch at his feathers for a moment before red takes off again, towards where sam assumes ciri has settled, and he takes off in a quick jog.
it doesn't take him long to find her, though he is still breathing a bit hard when he finally slows down. she's got his back to him, which is why he calls out to her - not wanting to catch her off-guard if she's on edge. ]
