[ There's a long pause. He can't help sensing more in that question than perhaps there is. Part of him thinks, suddenly, if Ciri may be the one person who knows Yen better than even he does. She's spent all those years with her, didn't she? Learning from her?
He does not ask. (Perhaps he's afraid to.) ] She may need to lay low. Give her time.
[ He's willing. He understands, why Yennefer would not reach out to him immediately. The situation in Thorne is not near stable. So he will give her that time. He's just not sure how much time she will need, how much time before the doubts begin to form further. But maybe it'll not come to that. He hopes not. He doesn't think it will. What happened in Thorne, what's between them is...complicated, but. They've always agreed to keep Ciri safe, no matter what. He sees no reason for that to have changed somehow. Especially not when Ciri clearly trusts Yennefer enough to tell her about her powers, to come to her for help with her magic.
For the moment, he wants to keep his focus on Ciri, on what he can actually do. Healing. It's his turn to reach out to Ciri, hand on hers. ] I know it's a lot. But I'm here now.
