Corvo was secretly - and not so secretly - happy to see her so happy. She marched off with the dog in tow, pulling him along to show him the entire house. He realized that they didn't actually have any dog food in the house which meant they needed to go into town tomorrow to get some. Tonight Riley would be getting some chicken, he supposed.
Corvo turned to see his oldest and dearest friend standing there, all sorts of shenanigans in his hair. So did you, he quipped back, motioning toward the things in his hair.
He began to walk off when it struck him that it was something Ciri had never done with him. How much had he missed over the years? All the things Chaz had taught her, all the things they did together, all the things he'd missed. Combined with Shae's words on Korriban, there was a sting in Corvo's heart and soul. He wandered down, following Ciri at a distance and watching as she led the dog outside, Chaz at his side.
Chaz... his voice was quiet as he watched his beautiful daughter playing in the distance. She was the most amazing thing he could have ever brought into this world. If something ever happens to me... and if Shae never comes back... watch after Ciri, he asked quietly. He knew it went without saying, after a quarter of a century, but he needed to hear it. You've been a good friend, he added with a sober smile.
He turned back to Ciri, feet moving more quickly the closer he got, grabbing Ciri around the belly at the last moment and swinging her in circles. The time he had may have been limited, but he wanted to make what he had of it instead of wasting it moping around about himself.
