My place.

[ She's already home, so it's easy enough to simply slip into her room and then into the Horizon. She waits anxiously in front of her cottage on the outskirts of Kaer Morhen's training grounds. ]

[vixening]

[ yennefer does not bother confirming she will be there, does not put in the effort to send the mental message. instead, she yells at another mage, tells them all she's exhausted by their presence, that she wants them out and gone, and it's only when her room is emptied and she's settled back into her supposed sleep that yennefer lets herself fall back into it.

there are no, actual, clues as to her state of being by the time she steps through ciri's door in the horizon, but there is a kind of harried nature to her. like she was too tired, or perhaps a spill over of her own exhaustion, that she could not seem to bring herself completely upright. completely together again.

but she is here, turning immediately to ciri as soon as she catches sight of her, the smile more relieved than she was really expecting to feel. ]

Ciri-

[wiedzminka]

[ As soon as Yennefer approaches, Ciri is turning toward her. Their eyes meet for a moment -- Yennefer's tired, face drawn even here, and Ciri's lined with worry and furrowed brow. She steps forward hurriedly, without a word, arms out.

They embrace, and Ciri holds her longer than usual, and tighter. ]

[vixening]

[ it's the worry in ciri's face that settles it, that when they embrace, yennefer's arms around her would be just as tight if not for the slight tremor, the echoes of her own soreness coming through. it's a very small break in her image, the slightest clue into the reality of where she is, back in her bed in the infirmary.

she will not be the one to pull away, though, so if ciri wants it they can just stay right here for the next however long. ]

[wiedzminka]

[ After a bit, when she feels somewhat assured that Yennefer is in one piece (even if it is the Horizon and she's covered up any real injuries), Ciri pulls away. Her hands linger in Yennefer's a moment longer, gaze searching those violet eyes. ]

I'm so glad to see you.

[vixening]

[ as ciri pulls away, yennefer does not pull back far herself, her own hands lingering on ciri's shoulders. she can tell ciri is looking for something, probably some kind of truth about all of this hidden under yen's facade.

part of yennefer wonders, suddenly, if it would be so bad that ciri sees it. another doesn't know if she has the energy to. so for now, yennefer gives ciri that small smile, squeezes ciri's arms where her own hands haven't left. ]

I would have reached out sooner, but I've only just been able to.
