[ Geralt sits down alongside her. He hasn't got any idea about the purple grass or why anything is purple at all, but it's striking to look at and he can't say he dislikes the setting. Another time, he'd have asked her about this place she's summoned in her crystal.

He listens quietly. So, what. They wanted to protect the Singularity? Hasn't Thorne been delivering its magic to it for ages now? Is it the excess they were concerned about? There's a lot they don't know. It feels like too many acted with the most minimal information on hand, given by those who clearly have an angle of their own. ]

I know Estinien attacked Yennefer at the crater. And I know she struck back. [ He looks over. In some ways, he gets why so many of Thorne's Summoned were present. They were not asked to fight or intervene in another city's business. They were asked to deliver something important, as was done in the past, and he cannot imagine given the rumours that travel that many at the castle would be keen on being labelled reluctant to cooperate. It's the others that leave him uncertain. ]

I came to you because who he chose to attack is a personal matter, and I've no interest in bullshit posturing and idle threats with another. My concern lies in how easily he was willing to kill over something none of us fully understand.
