Jesper and Claude get a nod each; Gideon gets a weird look, but Ciri decides not to ask what she could possibly mean. She has a suspicion that anyone who isn't used to riding long distances is going to be ass-devastated either way, but doesn't bother pointing this out. They'll either find out in a day or two, or they won't.
She's not in a good mood. Having spent the last week amidst the destruction in Libertas, trying to help people and fighting off shitty looters, having Dean trying to shove himself in harm's way for her like an idiot, Ciri is short on patience these days.
Jesper's introduction sounds more tongue-in-cheek to her than genuine. Her shoulders stiffen, like she'd be bristling a little if she could, but ultimately, Ciri decides it's not worth picking a fight. They'll be spending a few weeks together, it seems. And she's already agreed to help. That includes making sure no one gets eaten, to the best of her ability, Jesper included.
"Good." In general, regarding the subject of horses. When the soldier leads them to the mounts, Ciri follows a few paces behind, mostly because they'll probably all be mounting and heading out very soon. She introduces herself to the soldier as well while they walk, confirming the length of time expected on the way there and the rendezvous with Solvunn's transport, and hanging back to continue her conversation while the others choose their horses.
