It’s true that he’s exhausted but if it means keeping Ciri safe, then so be it. The girl is peacefully asleep and he could be asleep, too, especially with another Witcher here willing to look after her while he sleeps but still - he can not help but think she needs him awake.
“She gets nightmares.” Geralt suddenly says, looking up from absentmindedly picking leaves off of a twig. His head leans back tiredly against a tree trunk before he’s glancing over at the sleeping girl. “She’ll wake up and need me. I can rest later.” If not now, then when? His mind and body screams at him to rest - logically this is the perfect time to rest and yet, he wants to remain awake - just in case.
