Lucifer is a completely different person with Istredd than he is with anyone else, something Istredd is well aware of although it is easy to forget since the two of them can be so insular. They're mentally and emotionally on top of each other at all times, but that isn't public knowledge. Only Yennefer and Wanda are aware of the telepathic bond.
"I'd say you could always offer bodyguarding skills here if it made you happy, but one of the interesting things about this place is, you can restart entirely if you want to. Find a new path for yourself. Nothing back home matters."
