angels he says, and yennefer holds back the urge to snort. he is just a child, and she knows the innocence that could come with that, but the exchange brings a sort of nostalgic feel to the exchange. they keep speaking, exchange small smiles, comments. yennefer's hand remains on anakin's elbow as it happens - their few interactions leaving her comfortable enough to remain this close to him, even if he won't quite look at her through it.
