There are other ways to firm up your footing that aren't apologizing.
[ she would know - she's the queen of them. and the gods know she would never apologize to ambrose for anything. instead, she finds ways for him to apologize to her, and even then it's not enough. annoying, how she and lucifer keep ending up in situations where they agree.
the waggled eyebrows and taken compliment have her rolling her eyes - because no, it wasn't meant to be one. but she knows as well as he does that explaining how creation, how crafting anchors themselves, should be easier. would be easy, if she had her own chaos. but the explanation would be an admission to him and she's not really in the mood to do that. ]
No, apparently not. [ she doesn't even look up at him as she says it, and yes, she could also offer mat's services. could mention him as someone to go to. but again, she's not here to help lucifer, so she just lets him tattle on. ]
Somehow I'm not in the least bit surprised that you're the flashy type. [ which, again: pot calling the kettle black. yennefer has spared no expense for her own wardrobe. but they're not talking about her right now (somehow). ] Are you trying to draw attention to them, then? The court already knows Summoned are the only ones with those broaches. [ does she have to explain how that, in and of itself, turns into a target? how all it takes is a single mage with something to prove before that defensive enchantment is tested?
she pulls out something that is particularly wet, a package that probably either burst or broke open. yennefer takes it out and sets it on her desk, flicking her wrist to prestidigitation her fingers clean before she starts poking and prodding at it again. ]
