[ The hug is expected, and also appreciated. Ciri steps into his arms. She stays like that for a little bit, giving Jaskier a squeeze in return, until he pulls her back to take a better look, none too subtle about the way he takes stock of her appearance and double checks for injuries.
She's washed her clothes during the short stay in Aquila, mended them on the wagon roughly with some off-color thread. Her blouse has certainly seen better days, but the gashes beneath the patched-up tears and suspicious stains where not all the blood came out have healed -- thanks to both Viktor, and then Jayce. Physically, she looks to be in one piece, if travel-worn and dusty (but that's pretty much normal by now). The new sword Jayce gave her is slung on its strap around her shoulder, but naturally, she carries little else.
Ciri gives him a tired smile, and then -- perhaps giving away she's more shaken than she looks -- another hug. ]
Yes. I left Viktor with Jayce. No issues.
I'm all right. And I let Geralt know when we made it back to Cadens.
