[ Natasha takes the stones, although she's not sure what Sam expects her to do with them. She has way less experience with magic compared to literally anyone else in this room. Although it's a cool idea and she wonders if Stephen could recreate something similar? She'd have to ask. At the very least, Jaskier might like a pair back, after expending these.
She moves to perch on the edge of the table, one foot swinging absently beneath her as she watches Sam reassure the man. She doesn't know who Ciri is, although she had recognized Geralt's name. Something she'd ask about at some other time, but for now... ]
They took Steve. [ Her voice is quiet and she brings her gaze up from the floor to meet Jaskier's gaze, offering the only comfort she can think might help right now. She hopes. ] I know that might not mean much to you, but if I could choose anyone to be watching my back in a crisis? It would be Steve. He'll be watching out for all of them, wherever they are. Until we can locate them and get them out again.
[ She lifts the stones he'd brought them ] This will narrow down our search options considerably I'll make sure it gets to the people doing the locating spells in Thorne. [ A glance at Sam, then. ] I'll assume you can pass this on to Jayce and Viktor? It might be useful to them, too.
[Jaskier pulls away, his brows dark.] Sam, I am not all right. And neither of us know if she is, either. I was supposed to go with her, and I'm fucking -- I'm fucking here, again!
[Left behind. As it seems to be a recurring pattern in his life.
For once, he does not wish to hear any pacifying words. He is not a panicked, cornered animal, but he is not all right, and he will not be until he figures out what the fuck is going on.
He turns to Natasha as she speaks, giving himself several steps of room between himself and Sam. Nothing against Sam, in the long run, but her words are far more helpful than any reassurance that cannot be backed up by action.] It does mean something to me. I've met Steve. And from what I have learned of him, I trust he will. But it does not override the fact that these people who should have not been able to be overpowered so easily were.
[He sighs. Turning from them, as they speak between each other. Ciri was intentional, but Geralt? And for this to happen twice?] Viktor already knows. Somewhat. He gave us... devices. Because we were meant to be taken. To find where Geralt is.
