Kell hates that he's bound to end sounding like a petulant child, but it's very much in his character to just fixate on something and don't ever let go. He drops his gaze to the floor with a sigh. Doesn't even notice his hands closing into fists.
"But I don't want another one. I want this one."
It is rare of him to want something and have a chance at getting it. Once he does, it's almost impossible for him to give up. He'd rather bang his head at the proverbial wall than admit defeat. He doesn't actually have to admit it just yet. There's one person who - and everyone he asked for opinion agreed on that - could help him break out his impasse. He just need to find the courage to ask her... and that's where the problem lies.
But asking Istredd feels a lot less intimidating.
"D-do you think you could ask Yennefer to teach me?"
Never has been a sentence spoken so quickly on one breath. Kell braces himself for the inevitable no. With all the talk about caring and being proud, and Kell does believe Istredd is genuine when he says that...but still, asking for something like that does feel like going too far.
