Mm. [ His gaze flickers. ] The process leaves something to be desired.
[ What doesn't kill you, he supposes. The wolf at this point has moved to Himeka and is looking up at her with keen eyes that are as yellow as his—apparently waiting to see if she will grant it another egg of its own.
Geralt, meanwhile, simply looks up. He remembers Ciri mentioned they'd met, but he'd not been sure if Himeka would've put together that she was the same girl. Seems she did. That makes it easier than needing to explain. ]
She's certainly that. [ The gap is something he'll never get used to. Part of him will always remember her as a girl of thirteen, fourteen, only months ago, and now she's a young woman with a decade of scars etched on her. And yet she still turns to him time and again. ] She recalls that I raised her.
[ And he does not, is the implication. He hasn't discussed this with anyone other than Sam, but. Himeka is one of the few who both came across him while he'd had the shadow of the girl following him and later met Cirilla in actuality. She already knows what Ciri means to him—what he had wanted her to mean to him, even when he held nothing else about his past. He can acknowledge that now. ]
