[ She nods, but doesn't pry further. Himeka knows well enough by now that Geralt is a private person and if he doesn't wish to share much about Yennefer's condition, that's more than enough. She knows the fight had gotten a little out of hand from the state that she saw Estinien in, but she has seen him far, far worse after much more dire battles. Admittedly Himeka had been surprised by that, but the scent of burnt aether had said enough.
What he follows up with is curious, though. Though Himeka opens her mouth to speak, she forces herself to stop and give a moment's pause to reflect. In the end, all she can really do is shake her head. ]
He and I are of the same mind on that, though mayhaps he doesn't express it the same way.
[ Estinien may be more vocal about it, but Himeka doesn't hold any particular love for Thorne either. ]
It is more difficult to imagine tying oneself even for just a while to a power that has treated us poorly, but it also wouldn't be the first time. Even so...Thorne's citizens are not those that wield its power, nor โare the Summoned there. I think what he's looking for are the "whys".
[ Himeka gives a half shrug of her shoulder, brows a little heavy. ]
That isn't to say there isn't hope--because I believe there is. I do think there are people there that want to see change there right now. Maybe once we've figured out if the Singularity is either the cause of or answer to all our problems, there will be less need for this war all together.
