Lying won't rebuild trust between them, even beautiful lies, and Yennefer respects Ciri too much to feed her pretty lies. In honesty she's not sure if a normal life will ever be in Ciri's cards anymore than it was in her or Geralt's, but she hopes they can at least give her a loving one. A sometimes happy one. And Jaskier is a part of that. He is part of this family too, even if he can't always be with them.
Yennefer's hand is decent but to say she has a good poker face would be an understatement. She does not give anything away as she goes over her options in her head. Aretuza did not just teach her magic, after all.
Yennefer snorts a little. "I don't need to cheat to beat him at cards." It's said as a loving jab. Not to say she's never read minds to give herself an advantage -- she'd be lying to say she's above it when it's been advantageous to her, but she won't do it to Ciri.
