[ the thing is - it is a decision that yennefer makes to confirm what had either just been suspicions, or perhaps something more. a decision that she doesn't make lightly, either, but one she sees as worth it. if they're going to, at any point, have to decide what it is they want to do about ambrose and his potential mire, they should know why. and it's not like it is a secret - anyone around during that time, or anyone who asks after enough of the locals can figure it out.
but it hasn't mattered - she is where she is in spite of that. got to where she is in spite of that. thancred even looks back to her to confirm it, making note of her decision to stay, echoing their first conversation in many ways. yennefer doesn't respond, exactly, except to lift both her brows to him. yes, and?. it had not been a decision she made lightly, and looking back over her last few months she realizes it was the first decision she made that really broke things between her and geralt. now that she's on the other side of that second decision of hers, that second break, yennefer refuses (even if it's something as simple as this) to shy away from it.
when thancred turns his attention to stephen, to ask if this will be worth it, yennefer's eyes turn to him as well. she has no plans to show off her skills on horseback like thancred, but she is listening even from where stephen has fallen a bit behind. when stephens says yes, yennefer nods a bit to herself, likes the feeling of them all being on the same page. it's his next comment that has her snorting. ]
That's one way for Ambrose to show his power. To have the great Doctor Stephen Strange as his errand boy.

[ a glance back over her shoulder with a slight smile before she kicks at her horse and takes off. keep up, boys - because yennefer does keep this pace until they arrive at that first destination. does seem a bit impatient, even as stephen sets up the device (which she is taking special care to watch for every step), and then after a few tense moments of watching it settle and calibrate...
