Maybe a strange thing to say, considering her lack of success with any sort of family, but it doesn't make it any less true. Family is...well, different things to different people, but blood was only one small part of it.
"And some people are really shit parents." That, at least, she knows from experience. But her heart goes out to Geralt. No matter how long ago it might have been, that sort of thing leaves a mark. At least she'd never known - you can't miss or be angry at someone you never even knew.
"But you're right, the first person I should be relying on is myself. I always sort of thought I was taking care of myself, but...that's not really true. I've never actually had to take care of myself until a few months ago. It's about time I figure it out."
Her hand drops to the pommel of her sword, the feel of it still unfamiliar.
