MEANWHILE AT CASTLE THORNE

Once the hour is up, the execution courtyard of Castle Thorne is a great deal emptier than it had been. The portals are gone with no trace and life is trickling back into those frozen by wild magic. The banners resume their fluttering, the sounds of the castle resume, and guards stumble as they complete steps they’d started. Throughout the courtyard and beyond there’s a general sense of bewilderment as time resumes.

It doesn’t take long for any of the Thorneans to realize what’s happened - they’ve lost a large portion of guests and prisoners. Some guards begin rushing out of the courtyard to search for any who may have lingered, lesser mages stagger in to lend a hand and investigate.

And many eyes turn quickly to those who remain. Any prisoners who have lingered are immediately seized and returned to the dungeons. Welcomed guests are rounded up and herded back to their rooms, where a guard remains posted at each door and will not allow them to leave. While they remain unshackled, it is clear that even welcomed guests will not be treated with impunity.

One by one, everyone will be interrogated regarding the events of the day.

Thorne is not happy.

[ Jolene smiles and nods, grateful, and stands to lead Yennefer out of the room. ]

Thank you. Do let me know if you have trouble finding someone to introduce you to the Horizon. From what we have been able to see, the connection that the others have is enough to take the rest of you there without need for you to make the trip to the Singularity itself. But if that winds up being incorrect, I'll ensure a visit out there to you and everyone else who needs it.

Please, go upstairs and rest, relax. If you find Noelle, she should be able to show you to your new quarters. And again, thank you for everything, Yennefer. I look forward to working with you in the future.

[ yennefer's smile matches jolene's as she stands with her, following outside. she - of course - gives a last look to the guards, something prideful and pointed, just for fun. ]

I shouldn't have many problems, but I'll be sure to let you know. [ yennefer needs a bath, first. a new set of clothes. and then she's already made note of those she wants to follow after, faces she'd met out in the courtyard that she had a good feeling about connecting with.

she gives jolene one last bow of her head before they depart, her smile still warm, almost friendly. there is something to this mage that yennefer decides she may want to keep aware of, much more than she ever wants to have to be around ambrose. ]

Of course, and if you need anything at all - well. You should know where to find me.

[ and with that, yennefer will head upstairs to find this noelle - and to get her bath. ]
