[She nods and before she goes:]

After I've slept this off and while you're still in town - maybe we could grab a drink?

[Actually get to know each other better?]

[bottle]

You do owe me that, at the very least.

(and someone who has figured out how to move the moon and stop the surges seems like someone good to know.)

[brakewoman]

I'll text you.

[Which she will, after she's slept. A couple days later, they make plans to meet at a Brakebills adjacent but not affiliated bar. Given that both of them are not students anymore, it would be weird if they showed up at the physical kids cottage looking for a drink.

Kady does her best to arrive early, and settles at the bar, waiting for Yennefer to arrive.]

[bottle]

(yennefer is not early or late but precisely when she means to arrive, which is sharply on time. she finds kady at the bar and settles onto the stool next to her.)

You seem much more lucid now.

[brakewoman]

It's a wonder what a couple nights of good sleep can do.

[The world feels sane again, and she's not about to take that for granted.]

Hopefully having moon brain is not something I'll have to repeat.

[bottle]

I would not recommend repeating it too often, if you can help it. It might have detrimental effects in the long term.

[brakewoman]

[She shakes her head.]

I like my sleep too much for that. Also, it reminded me a little too much of being high and ... that's not a door I should be worrying about opening.

[bottle]

(yennefer tilts her head, curious but not invasive.)

It sounds like you know your limits.

[brakewoman]

You have to, when you're an addict.

[You become all too acutely aware of what's a step too far. She gets why magic likes to have it's fun with hallucinogens or other kinds of altered states, but Kady knows that's not a road that will end well for her, no matter how much she may want to disconnect from the rest of her life.]

Recovering, at least.

[bottle]

That would do it.

(addiction is never an affliction yennefer has had to struggle with, but she's seen enough magicians and witches who do. at least this one seems to know her limits.)

It must of been a risk then, allowing yourself to get to moon brain.

[brakewoman]

It was, but ... it was also the end of the world. If I do fall off the wagon, I can find my sobriety again.

[Not that she hasn't overdosed before, but she's got people looking out for her too.]

But it's not gonna matter if the world explodes.

[bottle]

Fair enough. I imagine your friends will help where they can too, you seemed to work well together.

(something yen almost envied as someone who usually worked alone)

[brakewoman]

When we manage to pull our heads out of our asses.

[It's rare, but it happens. But for now, Kady is interested in making a new friend, and they'll fade into polite conversation for now.]
