[ Hilda has evidently put a lot of effort into the wolf Geralt pulls out of the package. It's oddly thoughtful, and he wonders if some of this has to do with, hm. Perhaps the way he saw her and Ciri spend time together at Sam's gathering, and her earlier discovery of Geralt's relationship to Ciri.
Or Hilda has simply taken a liking to him. This does happen on occasion.
Either way, the wolf finds its home downstairs where he's started to do his woodworking. It does not occur to him to connect the twigs outside his Horizon to these twigs. He is not a man who searches for patterns where one is not warranted.
A few days later, a palm-sized wooden wyvern will appear on Hilda's doorstep. The note contains a plain For Hilda, and signed with his name beneath. The carving is similar in make and quality to the whittled birds decorating Jaskier's plant shop. The design is not especially complex, in other words, but it is recognizably one of the wyverns from her home world. The wings, like the birds', are carved tucked into its back. ]
