It wouldn't be your fault if you can't find us. I know you've done everything you can. If you don't make it in time, I'm afraid of what will happen to you. That it'll break something in you, when you thought there was nothing left to break. I'm afraid Yennefer will rage and damage her image, the only thing she'd have left without me, Geralt, and Ciri.
I'm afraid I'll never see you again, not even to say goodbye. I don't want this to be the end of my life, failing other people.]

[ So both of their fathers, essentially. Apparently neither of them are too old for daddy issues or likely to be past them any time soon. Istredd's just much more subtle about his.
He does the old college try of really attempting to reach out for Lucifer's familiar mind. He knows it well now, their connection so strong it lasted in the Singularity. He didn't tell Lucifer that the depth of bonds depends on the people, that not all of them are like theirs. And the obnoxious thing is he can almost feel it. It's more like feeling goosebumps out of no where, like someone stepped on your grave. As if something was there and he could reach out but somehow miss.
That in itself makes him angry because it's one of the things he should be good at. This stupid situation.]
