[ her own wave of warmth and a small note of pride come through as they successfully reach each other. he's taught her so much more than she was ever capable of back in her 'verse. ]
It's a little crowded, but Guò and Bob Cat are starting to get along. Only thing that's missing is you.
[ she knows they've already talked about this but it still stands to say. she is always going to miss having him right beside her. ]
[ She's a good student, as he always suspected she would be. Telepathy is easier once the minds have connected strongly a few times, so it's just at their fingertips. ]
I'll come by to visit soon, I don't want to bring undue attention to where you all are. I think they're watching me.
You must go to the Oks bookstore, it's my favorite.
[ there's a burst of warmth that thrums along their connection, excitement and relief and unbearable fondness. river is going to miss the castle's library but of course istredd would know where to go and who to talk to. ]
Old Red. I'll find her.
[ a beat passes, a small moment of hesitation - ]
Will we still read together too? I know it will be hard to see each other and magic isn't the same in the Horizon, but I don't - there's a lot to learn, that I would still very much like to learn from you.
[ can he still be her teacher from this far away? :C ]
We can still meet any time you want to in the Horizon or monthly at Nocwich. Eventually I can visit you at Nott, I just don't want to draw attention to you if they're watching me. I have connections with five people who now live in Nott so I don't want to bring suspicion down.
Dinner would definitely be nice. Helping out around the place you're living, I'm sure it's a little cluttered with all five of you. Ask them if they have errands you can help them with or go into town with them. It'll give you something to do and make stronger bonds together.
I wouldn't have sent you there if I didn't trust Thancred and Stephen, even with Yennefer waiting for you. They are good men.
Absolutely, River. Once a little time has passed, I can come to Nott and we'll make a book day out of it. I'd like to see where you all are living, I only briefly visited.
It's bigger on the inside. Not quite enough to fit seven - [ including bob cat and guò, of course ] - but we're making it work. It's nice. You should come. Dinner will be waiting for you.
I promise I will as soon as it's safe, and I look forward to hearing in person all about what you've learned. We'll go to Oks first. It'll nice to be together again, you, me, and Yenna.

[ so she and cassian can eventually get her own place and stop crowding yennefer's. ]

I have a question about your connections, if you can help.

Do you know - is there something I can make for them? I thought maybe dinner, since food is a practical necessity.
