No, however, but you are here. Therefore, it does matter where you are.
[ which may or may not be more of yennefer's pride sneaking into her tone than anything else. but she does believe it - that whether or not his magic is tainted, that his use of that magic is what will corrupt him. yennefer, almost despite herself, feels pulled by that very curiosity. that this could even be real, here.
the truth of it, as far as yennefer is concerned, is that mat may have the 'break the world' as he calls it. but so much of it will come down to him trying, with the mages that are here. with yennefer, here, knowing that now she will be keeping out for it.
mat is scared, sure. but he says things like i froze my water and i lit my pillow on fire and yennefer snorts, her brows lifting - perhaps he has every reason to be scared. perhaps there are valid reasons for why he looks the way he does. but yennefer hears those things and can't help the sharp, mean, almost joking way she considers the ideas themselves. ]
But yes, I'm sure you're to break the world while you're freezing water in your mug.

I will help you. But I am not going to baby you through this. I'm not known for being gentle, in any sense of the word.
