[ their brief stop in the castle had, almost against yennefer's best efforts, set her a bit on edge. after the mess that had been the borrel device, but then the subsequent night in the city, she'd almost been calm. tired, yes, they all had been, but there was a kind of easy, companionable satisfaction about her. about how close they were to finishing things, about how soon they would be back to the castle, back to whatever routine it was they might have had. it was a somewhat strange feeling, that things could be so different over only a couple of weeks, and how they were so close to the chance it would all go back to before. the danger she was in at the castle, the way she would have to go back to overtly hiding her lack of magic.
she did not look forward to it, to say the least.
still, something about this last leg of their trip seems to have them all in some state of contemplation, which means she just very nearly jumps when thancred's voice cuts through the forest noises. we're almost there. yennefer blinks, taking another look around them, and then allowing her eyes to fall to the direction of the singularity. of the mountain tops lining it. she remembers, briefly, her trip there with ronan before shaking herself back out of the memory. ]
After our last try? What more could go wrong? [ she means the creature bursting out from the sands, the pearls currently in their bags. there's a small smile to her words, only the lightest amount of teasing. all in all it had hardly been their worst go at setting up the device, but still. she doesn't have high hopes that this will go well.
she does look over to stephen, who does still have the watch with him, as if waiting for him to answer regarding any new readings. thancred did have a point - they were much closer now. ] You would think the Singularity's influence would at least do something.
