Ciri paid close attention when he added his number to the contacts, and then played around with it a little herself, adding people and numbers who didn't exist, only to delete them again once she had gotten the hang of it. Then she followed his demonstration of the other apps, like the one that tells time, and a few other things; unable to help hereself blush a bit when he gave that mild teasing comment about sitting. She chose to ignore it, because the ostrich method is obviously the best possible one, ever! Pretending nothing was said, even though she clearly knew that it was.
As soon as he said that it should be okay to go now, she was at the door with incredible speed. She'd heard him regarding being back for lunch - and made a mental note of it - but right now she just wanted to go see if she was still friends with Renata after having unexpectedly ditched her two days in a row. She tied her shoes, put on her jacket, and headed for her friend's house, all kinds of nightmare scenarios playing out in her head on the way there. Several imaginary conversations about how she could go plough herself because why would she be friends with someone who disappeared like that, etc.
So it was with some trepidation that she approached the house, and then she froze in place. Renata was there alright, but so were several other girls she hadn't met before. None of them seemed mean or anything, but...they were unknown factors, definitely
Just like Renata was about a week ago Geralt-of-her-mind said. She smiled. She'd missed Geralt-of-her-mind, in a way. The voice of reason in some senses.
So she cautiously moved forward, enough that they would be able to see her, but she didn't rush in like she belonged there. She left the reaction to her friend, hoping to the gods that things would be alright.
