[wanda does not cry because her tears have been shed many a times before over similar matters, but also because there is a tenuous connection made stronger by yennefer's touch. it catches the young witch by surprise, if only because of the tenderness despite the pain that is marked forever onto the other woman's wrist, an eternal reminder of what had come to pass.
abraxas has given wanda many things. amongst them, opportunities; amongst them, the warmth of belonging that she had presently given up on.
it is enough to dry unshed tears. enough to have wanda raise her hands to rest atop yennefer's, as she places her own on wanda's cheeks. to not be alone not just in life, but in learning, might be one of the biggest gifts this place could give her, despite all the adversities. she wants to do better, she wants to feel her magic flow through her and know that it is she who controls itβthat she can choose to destroy or heal as she wishes, all with a sane mind.
there's a soft nod of her head, a few times.]
I don't think I'll have top grades as a student.
[she tries, for levity, her lips curving up just a touch.]
βbut I do want that. [the community, that knowledge.] I want to continue learning.
