[ Istredd keeps Yennefer abreast of everything that he learns so there really was no need for her to go and get a killer headache for the effort. Especially as her magic is back now. The two of them are a very good team, something they always had the potential for as youths, but never lived up to until here. He kept the group small this time and wisely didn't bring other mages. Having the whole group basically collapse was not very helpful last time.

Istredd doesn't see Geralt coming but he knows he is so he's not startled when Geralt pulls up a chair. He glances up when he does and raises his eyebrow at the observation before sighing. ]

A very strange gift from the Singularity. Apparently I can change the length of my hair at will.

[ Istredd truly doesn't understand how it works but he wonders if this was a prank. The Singularity could have a sense of humor, he doesn't know. It may be connected to another power he hasn't figured out yet, but for now, all he knows is that decided to make commentary on his hair length. It also could be a reflection of his new memories, and the way he looked then.

Growing his hair out was more a symptom of him being on the road back home and not bothering with it, although maybe he has a secret streak of vanity in thinking it didn't look terrible. Either way, it's long now, and he doesn't bother fixing it. ]

I found the strangest thing on my recent trip.

[ To business. Istredd takes the strange flower creature parts that he found at the Singularity, while looking through the soil, and it is now pressed and easier to look at. He sets it on the table between them so Geralt can look. If he's seen Ciri's plant children, it may be familiar.]

Everything else was dirt so it stood out.
