there is something that settles in yennefer’s chest at jaskier’s words. that he is afraid of what she will become. the feeling is cold, hard, and heavy, as it settles. a part of her wonders if she should tell him that her killing the queen isn’t something she hasn’t done before. wonders, too, what he’d think of her if he knew even a fraction of what she’s done, already. it makes her feel…not unsteady, exactly, but distant.
a fraction of the pain and exhaustion from her physical body seeps through, as if finding the crack in her focus. yennefer shakes her head. ]
