Ciri gives the sage a look, arms crossed, shaking her head. She couldn't picture as to how she had been acting like a child. Then again, maybe it had to do with the fact that elves saw humans a certain way...or perhaps, it was the fact humans had shorter lifespans compared to beings who could brag about being almost immortal.

"How have I been behaving like one? I thought asking questions was a normal part of the learning experience." She still didn't trust him too well, but Ciri had to take a risk and give him the benefit of the doubt. "If you're thinking I'm going to be one of those students who keeps their mouth shut and doesn't ask questions, you're sorely mistaken." She lets out a chuckle.

Ciri nodded, arms crossed with a grumpy frown. "Sadly. I know, we look nothing alike, and I'm actually rather proud of that considering who he is. He...he's the one who's responsible for taking my home away from me and making me an orphan. He joined ties with someone for power, becoming a dark wizard. I was only a young kid when it happened. Geralt only told me a little about it."

It was still a hard topic for her to talk about. However, this wasn't supposed to be focused on her. If anything, she was worried about him and the fact that terrible man she had seen as a Boggart would be running for Minister of Magic.

"I'd rather a Niffler get elected instead of him. No offense to you, but if your own father can't be pleasant and caring to his own son, then how would he be better as Minister?" Either way, she knew this may come back at Avallac'h in a bad way. His father would hear about this and it wouldn't be pretty. He was going to need support through it. With this, Ciri grabbed his hand, giving him a smile. "Don't worry, I'll be here. And I don't think any differently of you for what just happened. I still think you're pretty brilliant."

"I suppose I'll find out. My father is running for Minister. I didn't want to hurt his campaign by making him look like a fool in front of everyone, but I'm afraid I've done worse." He feared that he may have single handedly put an end to his father's campaign. Not that his father's campaign would have been easy by any means... his background and the things that he had done under Auberon before he had redeemed himself would be troubling to any voter. "That was yours then, I take it?" He wondered based on her words if that was who her's had taken shape of. If so, he would never have suspected. He didn't think that she looked anything like her father, while he looked very much like his.

Ciri was about to charge in towards the monster with her sword, ready to help the elven woman out, only to see that she didn't need any help at all. Putting her sword back into it's sheath, the witcheress exclaimed. ❝ Okay, obviously you could handle that yourself. That was a nice bit of magic to see. ❞

It was probably best she introduce herself. ❝ My name's Ciri. What's yours? ❞

✨ 𝐈𝐍𝐁𝐎𝐗 // @musamulta — spotify wrapped starter call. ↳ “Dandelion” by Gabbie Hanna (for Gwen)

❝ When I was a little girl, my grandmother said to me; 'What's your favorite flower, darling? I'll get you the seed.' I said; 'Dandelion, Dandelion,' that one's so pretty. She said; 'Child, that one's not a flower, that one's just a weed.' ❞

It would appear that she had gotten herself caught up in something. However, Ciri wasn't fazed by the drunkards deciding to cause a commotion. In fact, the witcheress was about to go find out what was happening and put a stop to it if she had to before the woman suggested her to follow.

Ciri went to the back of the inn, sneaking out the door with her. "I don't mind taking them on if it must. This here will do the talking if it really comes down to it." She said, pointing at the sword on her back. "My name is Ciri. What's yours?"

[starwrittenfates]

With that, Ciri had grabbed her black mare, Kelpie, packing up everything she needed as they began to make their way to move on with the rest of their journey. She hoped onto her horse, motioning for her to start moving. As the sun began to rise more and more, she felt it hit her face, illuminating her in it's warmth.

At Cahir's question, Ciri paused, looking around and pondering on the next best course of action to take. It would be good to go into town and get supplies since they were running low, but there was also the chance of running into trouble. Then again, it would be like that no matter where they went.

"I like your idea. Let's go into town and get some supplies. How about you lead the way on this one? I'll follow!" That way she could watch his back for any possible attacks or surprises.

It didn't take much stirring for him to wake up. He was delighted to see her when he did. That meant their reconciliation had not been just a dream. It really happened. The knight smiled a little and ran a hand through his dark hair. He was still a little groggy, but in perfect condition to continue their journey. This rest, altough brief, had done him good. Cahir stretched a little, grabbing his sword as he got up.

"Let's get moving." he spoke and nodded. It was about time. They had spent quite a while at this spot. It got more dangerous with every minute they'd remain here. The morning light really was the perfect time to get back on the road. When he looked at her, he noticed how lovely her hair was illuminated by the sun in this moment. He caught himself looking a bit too long before he cleared his throat and looked around, trying to assess which way to go next. "Any route you'd prefer?" he asked. "I know there is a town down this road." he said, gesturing in the direction. "It would be a good opportunity to get some supplies." He knew he didn't need to tell her about the possible risks. Cahir was worried that they might run out of things though. They couldn't always rely on hunting or foraging.

She was relieved to hear that the sage was alright and would be waking up in a matter of no time. Eredin had put him under a curse and there was no hiding the fact she was afraid he would find them for good. But thanks to her family, Avallac'h had been saved. And thank to the sage, Ciri was back safe with her family.

So when Ciri had entered the room, wanting to check on him, only to find him awake, she couldn't help but take him into an embrace. "I don't know what you would call it in your language, but in mine, it's called a hug. You had me worried. I'm glad you're alright. For a moment there, I thought Eredin surely would have gotten us."

@burnnouts said: “No one would hurt you again, or I’d kill them.” (From Yennefer to Ciri)

Ciri feels her heart warm at Yennefer's words. She is grateful to her mother and all she has done for her. There is no doubt that anyone who came across the sorceress and got on her bad side would pay dearly, and yet---Ciri can't help but worry about her and Geralt in return. She couldn't bear losing another person to death, and at one point, Ciri thought she almost had with parents.

This causes Ciri to take her into a hug. "I could say the same to you too. I don't--I don't want to lose you. You're my mother...my family."

❝ And here I thought you would go back to the old days of calling me your 'ugly little duckling.' ❞The witcheress had managed to forget what had upset her earlier, feeling comforted by the presence of her adoptive mother. It was funny to think she had once been jealous of the sorceress. Then again, she had been younger, practically a child, and wanted Geralt's attention all for herself.

But then Yennefer began to grow on her and from that point, she always thought of her as a mother. Having learn so much from her just as she did from Kaer Morhen. They were family and nothing would change that or tear it apart.

Ciri gives her an even bigger smile in reply, taking her comment to heart. ❝ Thank you, mother. ❞

[starwrittenfates]

Of course it would be too much to ask for quiet days. And of course her life was deeply tied in the strings of fate and destiny. It shouldn't have been as surprising to hear as it was, but it did bother Ciri a bit.

Why couldn't she just be free to make her own choices and live her own life? Even just a little? Why did she have to be destined for a grandiose destiny? She didn't ask for any of it.

"Of course I am." She replied with a sigh, rolling her eyes, hands on hips. "That's all I've ever heard. And I know it's bad for one to try and outrun destiny. But if I must face it...then I'll do with everything I've got."

The redhead nodded slightly. There was an appreciation in the soft closed eyes of her face. Quiet days. She hadn't known that peculiarity in some time. She wished it for Ciri and all of both her ilk. If a god must sit restless and ever volatile, shaken in the waves of fate and destiny, she could only hope that at least the people knew a moment of still. Even if it was only a steady boat above the earth trembling ripples of a dark ocean below.

"That would be a boon," she chuckled finally. "Tragically, I sense you are made for grandiose destiny. You'll rest when you're dead and maybe not even then.."

✨@mikaels0n-elijah — Ciri Starter Call

She was no longer in her own world anymore. That much was clear. Everything here was different--- loud and bright. There were things she couldn't quite explain, even if she tried to. Everyone was also dressed differently. Exactly what world or time had she stumbled into?

Spotting a man, Ciri turned towards him, reaching out. ❝ Sir. Can you help me? I'm lost and I don't know where I am. ❞

[starwrittenfates]

✨ @luposcainus liked this post for a starter!

Ciri found a traveler that was about to get attacked by a couple of local hooligans. She intimidated them by pulling out her sword, the witcher medallion hanging from her neck giving more of a clear sign that she wouldn't be afraid to fight them if they were looking for one. Just the sight of realizing they were dealing with a witcher was enough to scare them off.

❝ You all right? I don't think those guys will try bothering you anymore, at least not while I'm around. I'm Ciri. What's your name? ❞

[starwrittenfates]

@fallesto said: "this place is pretty spectacular, isn’t it?"--- (for whichever of your characters you're feeling!)

Ciri glanced around the area they happened to find themselves in, admiring the beauty. Despite the trouble's that may find her along the way, the former princess enjoyed getting to see the rest of the continent and all it had to offer. "It is quite beautiful. It's sad that it's been abandoned...but why did you bring me here?"

@maddmuses liked this post for a starter with Ciri in her Hogwarts Verse! --- (for Hermione)

It wasn't easy being the new fifth-year and transfer student who was not only a late bloomer when it came to magic, but something else entirely. Her adoptive parents had sent her to Hogwarts to learn how to control her abilities. It seemed she was the talk of the school, even in the Gryffindor common room.

However, she wasn't going to let it stop her. Holding a huge stack of books which was all the coursework she had to brush up on so she could stay in equal footing with everyone, Ciri had managed to lose her grip on them, bumping into someone. "Oh no. I'm so sorry. Let me help you." She offered a hand. "I'm Cirilla, but you can call me Ciri."

[starwrittenfates]

The witcheress couldn't help but shake her head at him, an amused smile on her face. It was amazing to think that she used to think of him a different way before--- as something more of a nightmare --- but now to only learn he was a silly knight, he had started growing on her.

❝ You do know that when someone calls you an idiot, you can disagree? Even argue. Even if it is me. ❞ Although it wouldn't change the fact that she did think of him as her idiot still. Ciri leans in towards him, giving him a kiss on the cheek. ❝ After all, you're not so bad. ❞

[starwrittenfates]

✨ 𝐈𝐍𝐁𝐎𝐗 // @torntruth ↳ "Ciri." It's said so casually, as if the queen of skellige isn't sitting on her horse with a handful of skellige warriors behind cerys. It's said exactly like a woman relieved to see her old friend. "Are you busy?"

A smile lights up on the witcheress face, seeing the now Queen of the Skellige Isles gracing her with a group of warriors behind her. ❝ No. I was just on the hunt for some Witcher contracts, but I don't mind taking some time to spend it with you. Did you need me for something? ❞

It was always a joy to see the members of Clan an Craite, but it was painful to remember now that Cerys father was no longer around anymore, having bravely fought against Eredin by himself, a true Skelliger at heart.
