Does that mean you traveled to the underworld to recover the part of her that was missing?
It's less of an encouragement and more of a firm direction. They don't respond well to sorceresses who decide to forego their intended duties and live life by their own choosing.
Yeah. A friend of mine had lost her Shade so we went to the Underworld together to get it. We found Alice's Shade in the process of looking, and she chose to bring back Alice instead of her own Shade.
That's shitty. You should get to do what you want.
What was it that happened to your friend without her own Shade?
I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, the Brotherhood didn't see it that way. Simultaneously, I was more than inclined to tell them to go fuck themselves.
It's not really my story to tell and it's a long one, but the very short version is that she needed it amputated during a magical medical procedure gone wrong.
Good. Some people need to be told that. I think Brakebills was mostly okay, but in hindsight there were definitely some moments where I wish I'd said "no, fuck you."
It seems as though magic can accomplish much in your sphere, Quentin.
I've found it's never a good idea to let the truth fester in silence. And it's always very satisfying to deliver a good fuck you to someone who deserves it.
[ too bad she isn't taking her own advice on the former, especially when it comes to hiding the truth from geralt. ]
For the most part, yeah. I mean, sometimes it seems like for every thing we fix with it, five shitty things pop up in its place. But sometimes it's worth it.
I mean, I'm usually too anxious to stay quiet for long, so that's...a version of that, I guess.
