Oh, that's a bittersweet sentiment and his heart catches in his throat as she expresses it. She's seen his family, met the worst of his loves, and still she says pretty things like that. How, in all the spheres, had he ever disliked her? She's a beacon of bright and shining wonder and he is, he realizes, hopelessly in love.
He isn't terribly surprised by that. He falls in love so easily and Yennefer of Vengerberg, despite her efforts to project otherwise, is so very easy to adore. Every scrap of herself that she shares with him is a treasure, a new facet cut into a brilliant and precious stone that allows him to see her with greater depth and clarity. She has carved an impressive space in his heart and he offers up no resistance.
He smiles at her, besotted and bemused, and pulls her hand forward as he leans. He could tell her any number of secret things in this quiet place--there is nothing here but the two of them.
He decides to spare her such delicate, abrupt sentiments, and mischief twinkles in his eye.
"It's one of the buildings with the mason's water and it is a glorious, ridiculous indulgence."
