The spell was not just binding us to him, it was also stealing our souls -- if he got the chance to complete it we would be left lifeless husks

[birdpapi]

[ Meaning their souls would belong entirely to him? It triggers two opposing thoughts.

Why wouldn't he want to belong, body and soul, to Mammon?

He'd carved out a space in the universe where he belonged with his very own hands, and the memory of that and the people in it is more important than ... anything. Isn't it? ]

So you mean to say he partly succeeded?

[bottle]

that would be how it seems.

(she is trying to work on a way to break it, but she doesn't feel like she should share it too much.)

emmanuel's sacrifice kept him from fully succeeding

[birdpapi]

And what do you intend to do about it?

[ He's not an idiot. Clearly, she intends to do something about it. ]

[bottle]

(she doesn't respond right away, wondering if she should play her hand or not...but he could be useful, potentially, if he wanted out of it too.)

i'm going to find a way to break the spell, to free us one way or another. that's how i found the spell in the first place.

[birdpapi]

You really think you can do that?

[bottle]

i do.

(maybe that's foolish of her, to think she can undo the magic of a hell lord....but yennefer has never been known for her modesty.)

[birdpapi]

[ He's really not sure how to feel about that idea. ]

Good luck, I guess.

[bottle]

you're not interested in getting your freedom back?

[birdpapi]

You don't think I'd just sabotage you?

[bottle]

It's possible. But you could also already sabotage me with just the information I've given you alone.

[birdpapi]

That's true.

Don't know what I could do. Magic's not my area.

[bottle]

well, no one's forcing you.

[birdpapi]

Obviously.

If something needs killing I might think about it.

[bottle]

duly noted

(and with that, she ends the conversation, there doesn't seem to be any reason to keep it going.)
