Deepwood Weald avoid all complications

When Dutch and his companion met with them in the weald, Ciri hung back alongside Kyrell to observe. She watched with a familiar weight in her chest as Valiant moved to greet his kin, for the fond exchange made her think solemnly of Elke. Her sister had perished on Moonspear a long time ago, but she thought of her - and their mother - often.

She did not let the reminder of her greatest losses dampen her mood, however, as Dutch turned his smiling face to her. Ciri lifted her muzzle and beamed back at him, dark tail sweeping the air. They'd met only once before but she was thrilled that he remembered her, and to see him so vibrant. It is good to see you again, she chirped.
