She's been through a lot. Don't take it personally. [ Not that he believes Wanda has, necessarily, but Ciri is...young. He'd been not too different once. Too quick to bite. Maybe sometimes he still is. They're both more used to being alone than not. ] She'll come around.
[ She always does, to those who deserve it. He doesn't know if Wanda will fall into that category, or if Wanda even cares to speak with Ciri again, but—she's made good on her promise not to say anything about what she learned of Ciri. For Geralt, that means something. ]
