[ He knows better than anyone — most here, in fact — that outward sentiment isn’t her usual instinct, that she often waits until they’re alone to express such things. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t enjoy finding ways to surprise him, deftly delivering more overt affection when he doesn’t expect it. ]
I’m not otherwise occupied.
[ Which is likely for the better, given what the conversation has turned to, but she smiles nevertheless. ]
So you’re saying I should find a vacant bedroom and lie in wait for you, is that it?
[Now, that is some sublime temptation, and Yennefer can feel the way it makes him tingle, thinking of her tucked away, just for him. God, it has his trousers starting to constrict uncomfortably. The impulse is to say yes, but then he has another thought to add.]
I'm sayin' that I'd very much like ta pleasure you. If that happens ta involve you lyin' it wait, I'll be there with bells on. Or if this is one'a those times you rather make me wait fer the sake of the Wantin', well...yer worth it.
[Of course, he prefers the former, but if it'd get her hotter, he'll put in the extra time.]

[ If he's willing to go to the effort of making arrangements for this particular rendezvous, then she's certainly willing to reward him along similar lines — but she doesn't really intend to deny him, not when doing so would also deny herself.
On a purely selfish note, she also wants the respite of his company, far away from other eyes, where she can let her hair down, both literally and metaphorically. ]
But I don't see any reason to be withholding tonight, do you?

I don't got one that puts 'nough weight on the scale ta keep me from yer side.
[They might as well get to brass tacks.]
You find a place ya like, an' I'll be there as soon as these twistin' halls allow.
[Hopefully, it won't be a problem.]
