[ After the disastrous Moot Hall that saw Mateus speak on her behalf, Wanda's been lying low. She intends to disappear and become a ghost, to find herself a spit of land far away—
She's already done that.
What compels her to reach out to Yennefer is simple. She wants a friend. She's tired of navigating this by herself. Every time she thinks she's figured out where the landmines are, she steps on one and sees herself back at the start of where she's been since the destruction of Sokovia. How does one break a ten year loop? ]
[ yennefer isn't saying that to be polite — she would turn anyone away directly if she believed them to be an inconvenience, and in her mind of all places. with anything pertaining to telepathy, she might not even reply at all, just slam down her shields and simply not pay it another thought in the literal sense.
but wanda is, and always has been, different. she'd be fooling herself if she claimed anything to the contrary — so that exception is what prompts her to respond with little hesitation. ]
[ yennefer might be making more of a concerted effort to play this sphere's games, but that doesn't mean she has any trust in zlatka outright. and therefore, what wanda admits to her comes as significantly less of a surprise. ]
What did she take?
[ a simple question, but one yennefer senses will incite a particularly revealing answer, especially if wanda's going as far as to reach out to her about it now. ]
[ Wanda hasn't made it a secret she can conjure. Conjure, create—isn't it the same thing? Perhaps the two things were different to someone like Wanda, who had a bottomless bag to pull from. ]
I can't help Ivica anymore. I can't help anyone anymore. I think she has wanted this all along.

Yennefer.
Is this a good time?
[ No, she's not stalling. ]

Is anything the matter?
no subject
There is a little matter.
[ Just rip the bandaid off! ]
The Duchess took something from me, and I
I'm very angry about it and don't know what to do. You're one of the only people who I feel will understand.

[ how much of wanda's ability lies in that capacity to create? how much of her power has been taken away, seemingly against her will? ]
Of course she has. It's why none of us are strong enough to find a way out of here.
