[ Ciri doesn't respond; there is no need to. Geralt knows she was paying attention and saw his message. For a few minutes, Ciri busies herself making sure Rinwell knows what to do if something comes up to their camp, if the merchant wakes and wants to bother her for something, and whatever else might come up. The preparations are mostly unnecessary; Rinwell is not an idiot, and if Ciri didn't trust her, she wouldn't have brought her in the first place. It's just a stalling tactic that she's being dishonest with herself about.
Eventually, Ciri runs out of things to use as excuses, and the knowledge that Geralt is waiting makes her anxious enough that she has to give in. She needs to know; there's no avoiding it.
She decides to lie down near the fire, letting her body rest even if it isn't quite sleep, and slips into the Horizon.
As usual, she appears in the courtyard of Kaer Morhen. The wolf is already beside her. ]
