The bravery of Saint Alina. Ciri covers her grimace and keeps her opinions to herself. When they finally get there and drop the kids off, she waits for Jesper until he comes out. Her mind is elsewhere; she blinks, taking a moment to realize what he's talking about. The eclipse. Right.

"I have no idea. Could just be an eclipse. They happen."

She kind of doubts that, considering everyone's reactions, but-- well. No need to stoke further panic when nothing else seems to be happening besides the darkness.

"You know Alina?" she ends up asking with no real segue, staring intently at his face for a reaction.
