[blamedestiny]

Do you love me?

[choicely]

You'd really want me to say it here, like this?

[blamedestiny]

You brought it up.

[choicely]

In light of your feelings for another.

[blamedestiny]

I can have feelings for more than one person.

[choicely]

And did you?

[ because she doesn't remember any previous memories of being here, but whether he'd held thoughts of her at all while she wasn't. ]

[blamedestiny]

Yes.

[choicely]

And I presume she’s already aware of me from my previous arrival.

[ if yennefer knows herself, she would have been curious about this other witch. enough to ensure their paths crossed. ]

[blamedestiny]

She knows. She'd seen you in my dreams before so I told her about you.

[choicely]

But otherwise wouldn't have thought to speak of it?

[ she's noticing a theme here, geralt. ]

[blamedestiny]

That is not what I said. She knew of you before that.

[choicely]

Her power enables her to witness dreams, then?

[blamedestiny]

I believe so, yes. But there were also things being influenced by the city that made anyone able to see what I might have been dreaming.

[choicely]

Did those dreams happen often?

[blamedestiny]

Are you asking if I dream of you often?

[choicely]

Must you always need it spoken so plainly?

[blamedestiny]

No but I already told you how I feel about you, Yennefer. You don't need to keep testing that.

[choicely]

[ a long pause, so long he might think she's stopped responding, before: ]

Then say it the next time we are face-to-face, instead of hiding behind these devices.

[blamedestiny]

I am not hiding behind it. I didn't message you with the intention of our conversation taking this turn.

You've said very little about how you feel for me.

[choicely]

It was hardly anticipated from my side, either.

[ another long pause, and then: ]

I believed I couldn't trust it.
Then I realized it had been ages since I'd so much as thought about that fucking djinn.

[blamedestiny]

And so what does that mean?

[choicely]

Any amount of uncertainty doesn’t change the degree to which those feelings do exist.

Or the intensity of them.

[blamedestiny]

So, what is the problem, then?

[choicely]

The problem is there's no convenient way to undo what you chose while we're here.

Although I have missed you.

[blamedestiny]

Would you have stopped yourself from loving someone if I wasn't here and the emotions were there, Yennefer?
