There are other ways for the government to find out. We need to keep this as quiet as possible.
[For Ciri's sake, but Jayce also brings up a good point--she has some connection to Geralt, and for as little as he knows about the man, he's sure he does not want to be on his bad side. He also knows that Ciri isn't going to want to use her powers in the way Jayce suggests. Sure, it might be useful for a potential excursion, to collect empirical data, but given the way the Singularity interfered with her powers...he isn't sure they should chance it again.
Being dumped into the bay once was enough for him. Who knows what might happen the next time she tries to portal more than a few feet? It's too dangerous.
Viktor's not surprised that Jayce sees only the possibility, as evidenced by the fact that he uses the current conversation as a segue to demonstrate his own powers. He's surprised, at first, more by the presence of fire in the bedroom than anything else, but his expression becomes less alarmed once he realizes what's going on. The look on Jayce's face says it all--this is a dream realized, and Viktor can't help but be thrilled for him.]
