Now that's a development Kell was not expecting. To hear that Yennefer has a friend is a surprise, given all the things he's heard of her. Tough, mostly just the impression he got from Mat, to be honest. Kell is not the person to keep up with the juiciest of gossip, but there's news that does trickle down even to him. If this man is friends with one of the well known Summoned in Thorne, he must be quite interesting himself.

"That I heard of. If anyone is to get a permission, it would be her."

And reasonable too...

"Wouldn't have worded it better myself. Well, I'll leave to your studies then."

Kell nods a farewell and goes to find himself a quiet spot. He did take the herbology book with him. It's always good to have a convenient excuse if he wanted to talk again later. Given the other mage's plans, he just might.
