Saints! How he needs responsible people he'd actually listen to! The kind that won't lambast him for being over-dramatic, even if he is, but steer him away from taking everything as point of pride. Because Istredd understands, and takes time to truly hear him out, complete with all of his irrational hangups and concerns, is the sole reason why Kell listens to him in turn.
"No. I mean, yes, you're right. I'm so used to doing everything on my own that I don't even think that I..." He blunders through a reply, shudders, then eventually looks at Istredd and smiles. "I don't have to. Thanks."
Kell lets himself exhale. He did not realize how tightly wound he was around this issue. How much he expected an opposition, a fight even, being told off and having to defend his case. None of this has happened, and it's eerie.
"You're right. It's probably best to get more people on this."
The thing stops being his own thing to brag about, but more of a communal effort. Kell is not big on communal effort, but he can learn. He's constantly learning here, and Istredd is - with all due respect to Yennefer - his best teacher.
