A damned fool. Yennefer knows what she is doing, knows what she has to accomplish to persuade her way out of the cells themselves. She had needed a way to cement herself as an ally, rather than an enemy, and she'd need something big enough to make it obvious.
Honestly, Yennefer does not hate Estinein like she probably could. If anything, she's almost grateful for it - a scene to prove where she stands, and a reason to use the power she's been cut off from for too long. Too long. Like a dam that had been building for too long, she is just looking for a reason. Anything she can do, just to let it go. Estinien just happens to be that perfect reason.
The amount of magic contained in that single sound catches her, forces her to take a single step back until she can get her bearings. But once she has them, Yennefer's jaw settles, her control over herself centered back. She moves - quickly, because if she doesn't, this will all be for naught, and centers herself in the brunt of Estinien's attack, throwing her hands up and exploding a barrier right back on it.
Her goal is to deflect the brunt of the power off, similar to what she had done before. The power of it is different, stronger, and it takes more out of her to push back, and with the effort it takes to push back, Yennefer feels herself screaming back, her hands thrown out as she pushes back against the brunt of the roar. Back to the attacker, if she can manage it, but more specifically just away from the platform.
