[ ...take? Hm. Ciri doesn't ask, as context clues are enough, but she also doesn't answer. She slides the tankard across the table to Jo as she sits and lets out a grunt she could only have learned from Geralt. Nothing more to be said. It is what it is says it all already, and adding anything else defeats the point of the sentiment.
The new subject, however, isn't much easier.
Ciri takes a long drink, finishing off her first cup, and reaches for the second. ]

[ Julie too, eventually. That had really worried her. But Julie had even still thrown her party shortly after, so she seems to be handling it all right. Jo may have glimpsed Ciri at said party, lurking near the bar or maybe dancing with Sephiroth briefly, Geralt or Jaskier or Julie. She hadn't stayed too long, and hadn't interacted much with anyone she wasn't already close to. They certainly haven't talked since-- ]
Jo. [ Ciri looks up at her again, with the sense that she doesn't want to, but that she has to say this despite how much she'd rather ignore it. ] You dreamt of one of those old gods too, didn't you?
