[ no, it never hurts to double check. just as it never hurts to check for yourself. yennefer is no stranger to watching your back in a castle such as this one. his reaction to her comment, though, gives yennefer a bit of assurance. it's always a risk, bringing to front these sorts of conversations, and while she has never backed away from such a risk - it is a risk all the same.
she snorts a bit at his description of chaos - extreme weather, earthquakes. she supposes, in some places, those would still account for chaos. it's just an interesting experience to meet someone who does not quite understand how those exact things can be harnessed, channeled. lightning in a bottle, to be held and then used.] Humans do tend to be the cause of death and destruction, no matter in which kingdom you find yourself.
[ she could, if she felt the need to, go into that line of thought - how there can be science and magic, alongside each other. how, where she is from, there are studies that create, fix, and destroy, that have nothing to do with chaos at all. but it's a curious factor, thinking that there could be a place with no magic at all - or, as yennefer almost wants to believe - magic, still, but no one to harness it.
she chooses not to go down that route, if only because it doesn't exactly excite her - theory, history, studies. those are interests of the academics. she is much more interested in the act of it all. ]
That is what we have been made to believe, yes. [ the singularity, the source, the power pulsing through it that powers all of the magic in these halls. that connects each of their worlds in a wider web of fate. yennefer is still deciding on what of that she plans to believe, if any at all, but it's the working understanding that she moves forward with.
and, as brad lowers his voice just a touch, conspiratorially, yennefer feels herself lift a shoulder in a small shrug. that small smile from before lingers, but she doesn't seem either concerned nor unsure when she answers. ] That depends on the strength of those who wish to control it. Harnessing and conducting magic are the entire basis of understanding where I'm from, no matter the extent or power of the source. [ it's at this next comment that brad may be able to see a bit more light behind her eyes, an excitement that she keeps held inside, but allows briefly to break through. can something that powerful be controlled?. if brad was at all sensitive to the feeling of magic itself, the air might even begin to crack - with anticipation, with the chance at something that could be bigger than them both. ]
With a powerful enough conductor, and with the right process from which to do it, anything can be controlled. [ can it be controlled? yennefer's eyes brighten, if only marginally. ] I don't see why this Singularity should be any different.
