Istredd laughs. "I'm not going to pretend otherwise, of course I would. I was young and despite being supernatural, we are still human." Insecurities existed like for anyone else. He is not going to claim he is unaware he's attractive either.
"But there is a precise perfection to the way it looks after that I wasn't interested in." Istredd is good-looking but there are small qualities and imperfections that it would have cleaned up. Details they would have altered in their perception of what beauty had to be. He's considered rougher around the edges because of it. He likes that. Yennefer is the #1 example of what he'd call perfection, although he would never talk about how she looked before negatively. He's always found her beautiful.
"It's my preference, not standing out." Despite his height and striking eyes, Istredd is fairly good at staying under the radar. "But I find that hard to believe for you. Unless we're also going to pretend you don't look like you do."
