You shouldn't be alone out here. [ Ciri tells her quietly, firmly. ] Not that you couldn't... handle it. I know you are strong. But just because you can face something alone does not mean it's better that way.
[ Allies and friends to rely on ease the burden, even in times they can't help carry it. Rinwell had been all alone in this world; and for once, Ciri actually had the people she'd been searching for around her. It had never been a question. When she came home to find Rinwell asleep on their sofa after the wraith attack and they all woke up to eat a groggy meal together the next day in various states of exhaustion mixed with good cheer, the girl had become part of their little group as easily as that.
The question about alchemy makes her blink. Ciri is pulled out of her thoughts to consider this, having thought alchemy a concept present in most worlds, if not all. ]
Potion-making. Sometimes, there are spellwork components or items used of a magical nature. But one does not have to be a mage to be an alchemist. I simply thought, since mages are in short supply in Cadens, some potion makers might appreciate the extra set of skills.
[ There are various shops with all different methods, after all. Some are 'strictly science' (though magic is also just as much science as chaos, Yennefer had taught her, and so Ciri thinks that is a silly way to distinguish), but others are more open to working with magic users. Ciri is pretty sure Rinwell would do well at a job like that. At least it could incorporate something she's passionate about and not bore her. ]
