[ yennefer's eyes do narrow at his explanation, because there is something both familiar and entirely unfamiliar about what he's trying to say. willpower has always been, and will always continue to be, an active and important part of control where it concerns chaos and the magic created from it.
she intends to ask more about it, the details and what about it made it so interesting, but there are more pressing matters here and they involve, very specifically, each of the summoned's apparent involvement in her near-death. because she had her own theories pieced together from what she's learned - the corrupted protection spell, thancred coming to apologize for not taking part in their piece of the magic, the delegate from solvunn untouched. she hadn't been told the details of said spell and what each of the summoned had to actually do. there is a flash of a kind of...not anger, exactly, but bitterness at how easy their part had been and how little it had actually done for her when the shift in lucifer's volume pulls her attention back again.
her classroom is of course warded, but it is not nearly as safe as somewhere such as kylo's study room (if lucifer ever gets bored and wants to drop in a few more protective wards, she won't say no). but it is safe for now, or at least safe enough, though her eyes flash to the door - which remains closed - before turning back to him. ] The notice has a larger impact that you might think. The retaliation- [ he can read the sarcasm in her voice how he wishes, but if he's good enough at it, he may be able to pick out just how she feels about being used as a martyr to start a war. how she feels that the queen would wait for this before launching what she has very obviously been planning for some time. ] -would require an excessive amount of time to prepare, and would have been ready for whatever first strike would be made. Anyone can collect power to that degree with enough time, but it does not surprise me that Ambrose's mages were unable to come up with something more concrete in terms of protection.
[ yennefer lets out an annoyed sound, clearly picking up on lucifer's meaning. of course thorne is to blame for what happened to her, of course the officials aren't to be trusted. for all that yennefer knows how to play these games, she gets so tired of the repetitiveness of this.
but then yennefer seems to have an idea, as she blinks and something else settles over her features. she turns and puts out any open flames, anything she was working on, and picks up a stack of notes and a book, much like she's preparing to leave. ] Walk with me.
