[ yennefer, to her own credit, had been doing what she could when it came to learning the names and faces of all those left in thorne. their numbers had dwindled, but they would be significant players, as time went on. she wanted to at least be aware of them, should anything come up. not that she assumed anything would, but this was court, after all. no one could truly be trusted.
all this to say - she did not know who the guest was who approached her in this hallway. a guest, certainly, but her time feeding and learning from the thorneans had not told her much about him, and she doesn't recall seeing him near the platform on that day, either.
still - as he nods to her in greeting and starts the conversation, yennefer slows to a stop. her mind is, of course, trying to parse out what he actually means by all of that, if he actually intends to allude to the fact she was not welcomed as a guest versus they just haven't run into each other yet, but she chooses a more neutral response. ]
I don't believe I'm come across you, either. [ a friendly enough smile, for now. ] But it's a pleasure to finally cross paths, ...?
[ she actually doesn't know his name, or at least doesn't know his face to attribute his name, so she'll do the semi-polite thing and give him an opportunity to fill it in. ]
