[ unavoidable is the uncanny disconnection all tranquil possess. perhaps it's just instinct, screaming to something deep in her bones that whatever conditioned it is telling her to run. if what she had heard is true, gwen is tranquil no longer. though she hasn't delved enough research into the topic to really understand how it might affect a person to be reconnected after being so brutally severed. would imagine it is as foreign feeling as it might be to observe her walking and talking now. what is broken cannot be completely mended and it shows.
though as much as it might disturb her to think on, the enchantress shields herself behind a pretty smile. the pleasant kind reserved for anyone she may have met in the circle, though a far more downplayed version than whatever she is due to greet vivenne later (they were never quite bosom buddies, that is a face she is certain to avoid as long as possible).]
I was, for a time. I remember you and your uncle.
[ gervais was clever, a survivalist for certain. a lot of them had to be in order to skirt by. yennefer too, for a while thought that was her only choice. truth of the matter is the person someone was within the circle is rarely often ever who they are without it. some people just cope better, others turn into abominations, others get turned. everyone else runs or dies trying.
there are those who still believe the circle is the best place for mages, others firmly think they can tear the walls down and put something up better. yennefer knows better than that, and she would guess the inquisitior feels the same. as bloodthirsty as she's come within the first 10 seconds of meeting her. hell of an introduction as to what she's in for. no wonder.
to get things out of the way:]
I've no affiliation with it, nor any other Circle now. But I suppose it was at Fiona's behest that I come offering my aid to your cause. As your instructor.
