It was just as bad as ending up in jail in Oxenfurt, so no real harm was done, I assure you.
[ there's a bit of a pout in his voice, signifying he's been appropriately rebuked. but when she continues, he begins to feel even worse, recognizing he's opening old wounds. his own voice is just as soft as he sighs. ]
I'm sorry, Yennefer. I shouldn't have brought that up. It was... unfair, and he was unfair to you for taking away your choice.
Forgive me for not being entirely reassured by that comparison.
[ it may be the closest she'll get to admitting any level of concern for how he'd fared there, but she's also not inclined to afford geralt any amount of consideration for simply doing the right thing.
(it may also be telling that she harbors the brief thought that if he had not offered jaskier a contract to spare him more time in their prisons, she would have done so herself.) ]
It's nothing that he's not already aware of himself. [ which also serves as her way of saying that she accepts the apology. she pauses again, voice lilting upward. ] Now, I believe you mentioned something about a drink.
Cells all look the same from the inside, whether you're wearing clothing or not.
[ he says it blithely, but part of him is inwardly warming at yennefer's strange way of showing care for him. a smile almost blooming on his lips as she abruptly changes the subject. this, at least, is an easier topic for his heart to deal with. ]
Indeed, I did, oh wicked witch. Shall I come to fetch you, or do you know the way to Geralt's house yet?
They deprived you of clothing? That's rather uncivilized.
[ and the irritation that flares has absolutely nothing to do with him but what was done to him specifically, though good luck getting her to admit her reasons for concern. ]
Just have the wine poured and ready for when I arrive. [ in other words: she's been there already. ]
Considering they call it a zoo for people, specifically submissives, I wasn't altogether surprised. Though, I would have appreciated at least a blanket. I think my nipples almost froze off.
[ and, of course, he's rolling his eyes again. he should've known she'd already been there. he also notes the tone of irritation, but isn't sure what the cause might be, so he dismisses it for the time being. ]
