And here I thought your were done. Wouldn't darken my door anymore.
(is it cruel to throw his words back to him right now? a little. does she do it anyways? yes. yennefer is not an easy person to hurt and she would never admit that jaskier hurt her, but he did. he saw her more clearly than even geralt does sometimes in that moment and went for the jugular. he wasn't the first to do it, and he won't be the last -- but he is one of the first to apologize about it. or offer to, anyways.)
Three. And you'd make a better fly than flee, annoyingly flitting about as you do.
(that's about the best response he's going to get from her. he had the right to be angry, even now she recognizes that given her role, but tech made his own choices and she won't be blamed for them anymore than she'll be blamed for shitgaard.
nice as gifts are, they're fleeting. words mean things, they both know that. they get under your skin and become a part of you. many of the worst scars yennefer carries, other than the obvious ones on her wrists, come from words.)
