[ Plant-like. A subtle shift in his expression suggests this is the topic he came to discuss. Or rather, that he came to gauge as to precisely what Viktor knows. Geralt is not the most delicate of conversationalists—he'll either tell you or he won't, but skirting a topic to dig for more information is less his strength.
But he doesn't want to reveal information about Ciri he need not. So after a moment, he only says, ] I need to know everything you saw. Relevant or not.
[ Viktor is not an unobservant man, but he isn't a soldier or a fighter. Out in the field is another matter. In the chaos of Ciri's teleporting, and then the insects, he's hoping Viktor didn't notice much more than strange plant-like creatures springing out of the ground for seemingly no reason. If not—
It isn't a problem, necessarily. He trusts Viktor more than he trusts some of the others. But the fewer who are aware of Ciri's Elder Blood, the better. It's too dangerous, not only for Ciri but for the one who knows, too. Not everyone can be expected to guard a secret with their life. ]
