[ Ciri eyes the locked door to the dressing room uncertainly, turning back to look down the hallway. They passed some performers earlier, and there are plenty of other doors around, but for the moment, no one is actually near them...

Ciri tries the doorknob, just in case. It would be embarrassing to try to break in if it was unlocked this whole time. She jiggles it, yanks, and finds nothing will budge. ]

I mean, I could kick the door down or see if Aard will break it... but. [ Ciri releases the door and looks back to him. Is he standing a step behind because he's hiding behind her or because he thinks she's going to just blast the door open immediately? ]

Jaskier, have you considered that if you want to talk to the firebird lady, breaking down doors might not earn you the most goodwill? Kicking the door down would be loud, anyway.

[ She pauses, considering the doorknob again. ]

...I suppose I could try something else. But you have to keep watch.
