[It's far more than Geralt ever offered them. (He's not mad about it. Probably.)
Immediately, Jaskier's arms raise around her; he'd been hesitating before, wondering if a touch would ever help after all of this. But she seeks it, and he gives it, offering Ciri what he has left of himself after everything. His grip is tight, chin on her shoulder. There is the smallest chance if he holds her tight enough, both of them can squeeze the helplessness out of their hearts.
A very small chance.]
Resourceful. [It may have been amused in any other moment; he'd never taken Alina as resourceful. And yet, where had she gotten the coin for that? That's quite the bribe.] Shall we curse her name? I'll come up with a particularly rude rhyme. We can send it to her.
[He doesn't think Ciri will take him up on the offer, and Geralt will never receive the bounty of extremely rude rhymes that Jaskier already sent him.]
