Sounds logical in concept, but practically... I'm sure it's not quite so simple.

[ then again, if yennefer had ended up here at any previous point in her history, she might have been more unwilling to acknowledge what her monster truly signifies. now, she's come to terms with a lot of her own failings. ]

Well, there's some benefit to living out here in the woods, I've found. Namely, the lowered odds of someone stumbling onto my land at the wrong moment.

[ooc: Learned today that Xue Yang's player missed AC and got an exemption and is back in the game. Let's just go with him having briefly been in the Void during this conversation.]

Very true. Gives you plenty of space to explore... yourself.

[choicely]

Why does that phrase sound like it has a wholly different meaning when you say in that way?

[princess_of_ida]

You're the one considering learning to control your monster.

[choicely]

And the other side of that... [ a soft, resigned sigh. ] likely involves needing another party around on the off-chance it needs to be subdued.

[princess_of_ida]

I'd be entertained with there being a kraken in the pond, but I'd miss you after a bit.

[choicely]

Well, I do enjoy long soaks, but not to that extent.

[princess_of_ida]

And it's not even warm water.

[choicely]

To add insult to injury.

[princess_of_ida]

Exactly. I'm sure you'll figure it out. I'd prefer to not have to inflict pain for a helpful tentacle.

[choicely]

An outcome I'd much rather avoid repeating myself, if at all possible.

[princess_of_ida]

Let me know if you figure it out. Or need help. I'm always willing.

[choicely]

I had thought to ask Khoriya for his assistance, but... the best experiments are always conducted more than once. To leave room for trial and error.

cw: ref to bestiality

[princess_of_ida]

[Ianthe bit back her desire to make a snide comment about Khoriya, or that Yennefer's instinct had been to go to the dog over her or Sweeney. But if the sorceress wanted to lay with dogs... Ianthe didn't kinkshame.]

And to limit unknown variables. His condition is far from a known one.

[choicely]

Put simply, he owes me a favor, and there are others with more than enough to deal wth at the moment.

[princess_of_ida]

I suppose there's a good chance you may end up strangling him. Fair.

[choicely]

Is there something he might deserve strangling for?

[princess_of_ida]

Yennefer. I understand that you like him, but he has committed sedition several times against Zlatka and insists on continuing regardless of how much doing so is destroying him.

Strangulation would be a kindness.

[choicely]

[ a long, resigned sigh. ] I'm aware.

Whatever else he has done for me, his foolish stubbornness hasn't failed to escape my notice. And I wouldn't hesitate to take more drastic measures if they became necessary.

[princess_of_ida]

That's good to hear. I keep hoping he'll write up but I doubt he will.
