[ A much easier subject, that. Ciri inclines her head, holding the tankard between her palms atop the table. Cid isn't wrong. She's not in the habit of endangering innocent lives for no reason, but perhaps he overestimates her willingness to step in on their behalf (or perhaps she underestimates herself).
The truth is that their lives here really are often reactive. It's a fate she's used to: the world goes on and does what it will, and she will hold onto what matters through it all, no matter what life throws at them. No matter the cost. ]
Not quite. But I learned. I trained as a girl. With Geralt.
[ When he gets his drink, Ciri raises hers in wordless acknowledgement. Despite her standoffish demeanor, she appreciates his attempt to check in on her. Cid seems a decent man, and she mentions Geralt because she's seen them talking before. They make no secret of the fact they're family; if Cid remembers from their shared visions, they were always family 'there' too. ]
