You can hug him if you want. He'll probably do it anyway.
[Because Ciri saved his life, and he knows Jayce will want to thank her. He's surprised that he didn't show up with four different swords, plus a collapsible one that expands into another three swords, probably.
The slight upturn of his lips betrays his aloof exterior--because, despite everything, he really is glad to see Jayce. He has to take a few steps into his space, ostensibly for his crutch, but walks into the embrace anyway.]
This is for your benefit.
[He looks over his shoulder, back at Ciri, and gives her a little shrug.]
