[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?

[choicely]

I was speaking of the djinn.
But, since you asked, my emotions are not so easily won. At least not within the span of a mere year.

[blamedestiny]

You say that but you don't know what happens here.

[choicely]

Not entirely.
But I cannot definitively say I would have given my heart to another, either.

[blamedestiny]

I know you cannot.

But you also cannot say you wouldn't or hate me for what I did. It happened and I don't regret it.

[choicely]

It would be simpler if I found it at all possible to hate you fully.
But I do not.

[blamedestiny]

I would apologize for that but I'm not sorry about it.

[choicely]

I wouldn't believe you even if you claimed to be.

[blamedestiny]

I suppose this is one instance where I'm glad to be see through.

[choicely]

You're not as inscrutable as you like to believe you are.

[blamedestiny]

That's one person's opinion.

[choicely]

Given our history I’d like to think it holds more weight over some.

[blamedestiny]

Hm.

Perhaps.

[choicely]

Well, that's not entirely a disagreement.

[blamedestiny]

I know you know me. I'm not doubting that. But I have changed in the last year I've been here.

[choicely]

As opposed to the decades upon decades you rarely changed at all while we knew one another?

[blamedestiny]

Is there a reason you're fighting me on this?

[choicely]

Merely surprised is all.
And curious about what might have happened in so quickly a time to lead to a change that even you would notice.

[blamedestiny]

This place can display a brutality that you haven't seen before.

[choicely]

I know better than to underestimate what any ruler is capable of.

[blamedestiny]

That's good.

Because I've seen some of the things that this place will do. And I'll tell you if you'd like to know. But it's difficult to hear.
