You've found your replacement? Or your rival? And I don't believe the amount of woes your ego has caused me will ever be soothed, but that is something I've learned to accept.
I'm less worried about shit lists at this point. Ellya was the only woman crazy enough to do something I couldn't put an end to, and from what I've heard, she's currently a corpse.

it's one thing for yennefer to be on the run. it's another for her to have to spend days with her life in the hands of a man she has hated for as long as she has.
it isn't an easy thing, these routines they end up in too often. but yennefer also cannot be too angry - this contact, this immediate connection across miles, the fact that she can hear from jaskier at all, it eases some part of this. if only marginally. ]
Of course he's still with me. He hasn't left my side since you sent him to me. Perhaps the only constant thing I have with me. I think he's begun to learn some of the more well-liked tunes from the castle. Do you have contact with him or will he have to teach them to you himself?
