[ They must have knocked her out before that part. She doesn't remember anything between being attacked and waking up inside that disgusting plant-thing.
She can't make out everything that comes through from Jaskier's side, but it's enough. More than she expected. Ciri's tentatively hopeful they'll be able to communicate more reliably, if they can at least check in like this on occasion.
She's wrong, of course. It just gets worse from here. And by the second week, she won't be able to respond at all, whether it's to Jaskier or Viktor, as the tracker's signal becomes intermittent. But she doesn't know any of that yet.
Right now, she's feeling pretty all right. She reassures him confidently. ]
It's all right, Jaskier.

[There is something so unbelievably frustrating about Ciri and Geralt's confidence that comes through their messages, even as scattered as they are. He is not used to worrying about Geralt. Nor Ciri, really. Both of them are more than capable of killing.
But this world has surprised him. And they are not immortal.
For now, he can only trust their plan -- even half-cocked as it is -- will be a success. The device's signals are not consistent, but they're getting something. It's better than nothing.]

Be safe, Ciri. That's all I ask.
