[Power is often what it comes down to. Power and control. In a sense, he is aware that they are perpetuating that Thornean desire by agreeing to this mission in the first place. What else are they doing, after all, than aiding the kingdom in its study, helping it garner information that may instigate further troublesome decisions from the Queen in the future?
But again, he suspects the answer as to why is shared between them all. Yennefer doesnβt even have to finish her statement; he thinks of the people he knows from his world.

They do not need to be caught up in this power struggle, much less fall victim to the newest covert line of experimentation the current royalty might warrant for them.
At least in Thorne they can remain informed. At least they have a better chance of seeing it coming.]
