[ If Jayce thinks he'll need help with Dean, Ciri is prepared to act. She's not as fast as Geralt, of course -- that'd be pretty much impossible -- but she's still quick, and a lot stronger than she looks. In the split second it takes Geralt to grab for Dean's arms, she notices where he's focusing and shifts her weight to press most of it down on Dean's legs instead. Good thing Jayce healed that first, or this would be even more unpleasant, as she's focused more on keeping Dean from thrashing and hurting anyone than she is on not causing him discomfort.
It's not easy. Dean is also fucking strong, even half-dead. She's unable to tear her attention away enough to look at Geralt or notice his look her way, but she does keep her end of the deal, pressing down on Dean's shins with dogged determination. It lasts only a few seconds longer, and then Dean is gasping something that sounds like words, his thrashing dying down.
Ciri eases up on her grip, but doesn't let go until Geralt does. ]
Dean? [ A little breathless. Her heart is beating nearly as fast as his. ]
