"So we are to put all of our faith in one instance? We save one but if I am not mistaken we also lost others just as recent." The tension is back in her bones as she puts herself in front of Inessa, sword drawn and held in a fixed stance. "I will not risk the lives of those in nearby settlements on a might because if we fail, it escapes and they die. I won't risk them for one."

She watches Herian's approach before she is stopped. There is only a second of delay before Ciri pushes forward instead, moving toward the abomination as he burned and tightening the grip on her. There's a motion as she moves to bring her sword downwards, readying herself before Raylan steps forward and utters a word.

There's no telling how it will go in her mind but it gives her enough to pause for now. She steadies her blade but not does not unwind in her stance, still positioned for an attack.
