Istredd is calm, still sitting up and watching him, blue eyes narrowed. He has no doubt there were reasons to start, and he is not inclined to be offended. Lucifer has acknowledged that there is a shift in their relationship since then, so it doesn't necessarily matter what his first opinions were. Although perhaps it was, because he makes a face at him.
"I'm slightly annoyed it wasn't the obvious. I'm a mage and can make wards, I can be useful and add a layer of protection. Placeholder. Disappointing." Not that he thinks the initial want to have a roommate he can tolerate was a bad one. But he's always been underestimated, and maybe back home there were reasons for that, but here he has turned out to be more useful. His power and control of it very strong.
It's strange how Lucifer is acting then, so cold and closed off, and Istredd isn't particularly sure why this revelation is supposed to matter more. "I would say first that you don't understand our relationship, because I am extremely low on her list of priorities or concerns." That is a mixture of his bitterness and low self-esteem talking. He doesn't think she would care whether he lives or dies. But he didn't indicate their exes state at first.
"And I would say second that I hope you don't mean get as in trying to kill her or ... woo her. Because that would be far more offensive." If Lucifer wanted Yennefer dead, that did make him an enemy, and Istredd does not like that idea at all. He would be far warier about this. Yennefer may not give a fuck about him, but he does about her. And then there would be the sting and slight jealousy of being used to get with her.
