[It's been some time since they met at Nocwich, but Ciri had left quite an impression on Petra— enough so that she had been actively relieved to hear that Claude would be traveling with her during that supply run of theirs.

Of course, he'd dropped a few other details later on that had made her feel somewhat less secure.]

I have been hearing something about a monster in a ravine! Claude insists you are all safe, but he is having a habit of skipping over things sometimes. I thought I would be asking you directly. Are you and the rest of your party okay?

[wiedzminka]

[ Ciri doesn't recognize the handwriting that unfurls across the side of a large rock she's sitting near. She does, however, recognize the unique speech pattern. ]

Petra.

Yes, we're all still in one piece. You needn't worry about that. Claude was telling the truth.

You're concerned about him.

[warfed]

[Someday, she'll learn that she should probably sign her thought-notes.]

I am glad to hear it. It sounded like it was being a very fearsome beast you had come across.

I am worried about him, and the rest of your party. Of course, I am being worried about friends, but if he mentioned it at all, that means it was significant, even if he was pretending otherwise.

Claude has his own way of telling the truth. It was hard not to be questioning. This world is still being new to me, and your journey is sounding perilous.

[wiedzminka]

[ Has his own way of telling the truth, huh. That's amusing. Ciri knows what she means, though. ]

It turned out to be an annoyance more than anything else. Cost us a bit of time, but we're making up for it.

Don't worry, Petra. I'm here to make sure the rest of the boneheads don't do anything too stupid. Claude included.

I've made trips like this a dozen times before. I know what lives out here and how to fight it.

[warfed]

[Ah, yes. They have that in common— Petra is also frequently in the position of looking after her companions.]

I am not surprised to be hearing that. When we met, you were having the air of a capable warrior with a good head on her shoulders. I know your team is in very good hands.

Hopefully, I will get to be seeing you in action sometime myself.

[wiedzminka]

[ Even in the marketplace? Ciri is amused by this, and a little charmed. (Flattery might work on her, just a bit.) ]

I do what I can.

We'll be back soon. There's nothing to fret over.

[warfed]

[She has an eye for these things!]

I will be taking your word for it. Travel safely, Ciri. If I can do anything for you in the city while you are gone, please be letting me know.
