[ A note to Ciri, too. At least there's that. He listens quietly. When had this happened? Before he returned, he's certain. This place was already empty when he'd collapsed on Sam's couch.
His chest tightens. He can imagine what that was like, for Alina to have vanished at the same time he was still gone. And if he knows anything about Ciri, he suspects she might have hoped Alina would be there for her through...this. Only she wasn't. (Neither was he.) ]
I can ask someone to look out for her. [ Someone because he's not entirely certain he wants that person to be Yennefer in this moment, but there are others in Thorne if not Yen. (It will likely be Yennefer, in the end, if he isn't lying to himself.)
They can't bring Alina back. The girl made her choice. But he thinks Ciri still cares enough for her friend to want to be sure of her well-being. ] If you'd like.
