"Unfortunately not. We keep going up," she agrees.
If she notices his surprise that she actually kept to her agreement to cooperate and helped him up, she doesn't show it. Right now, Ciri's goal is simply trying to get out -- our at least holding out long enough that she doesn't have to find out what happens in this odd pocket of the Horizon that shouldn't exist if that ominous pink substance catches up to them.
The monsters will be an annoyance, but not necessarily a problem. Even though she's having trouble manifesting proper weapons, most of them coming out warped or broken, Ciri finds ways to improvise. Half a sword that ends in a jagged sense is better than nothing; it will take out beasts nearly as well as a whole one. As long as they continue to work together and he doesn't show signs of second thoughts or trying to turn on her, Ciri will keep her word as well, and they can fight side by side instead of one another, for just as long as it takes to free themselves from here.
