[ He makes a soft noise. Yeah. She would be. Yennefer would not allow herself to become an asset, but she is not as indestructible as she would like to believe. He worries about her. He doesn't want to, knows she can take care of herself, but this is not one of the courts in the northern kingdom, already under the influence of the Brotherhood and its mages. This is unchartered territory. And there's more at stake than either of their lives now.
His gaze flicks upwards. A beat, and then: ] We kissed.
[ That day, before the portals. They'd been less than quiet when they first saw each other in the prison yard, too. He doesn't elaborate. Kylo can put it together himself. His tone suggests he's aware it was a mistake, that he need not be told so. Yennefer has assured him she's safe for now, that no one's asked any further questions. So either the queen has bought her performance or they're biding their time.
He's done his best to put it out of his mind. He wants to trust her. He does trust her. She will tell him if anything is amiss. There's nothing he can do about Thorne from this side of the world. His focus has turned to what he can do, which is look after the girl, keep an eye on Jaskier, figure out if there are any remaining threats in Cadens. ]
What is the queen after? [ His brows knit together. He's been thinking about this from the start, long before he was captured. From the moment he'd learned the details from Relena herself, of what had happened. Of who was and was not involved in that little trial. ] If she's so little faith in her council, why not remove them altogether? The High Mage fucking up an execution and scattering the summoned at once is more than enough cause to lose his post. Or his head.
