Istredd is very smart and will figure that out but since it means he gets an agreeable Lucifer, it'll probably be worth it.

You and your family. Istredd says after the indication that it wasn't a compliment. He doesn't want to know. Family is starting to seem extremely complicated even without it being Lucifer, so perhaps he isn't so sorry to have been solo most of his life. Yennefer is enough of a complication.

No. He sighs. Yes. With great reluctance but his energy recharged somewhat, he leaves his hiding spot. Thank you for partnering with me. Where would I be without you?
