[ As awful as what is awaiting Jaskier, she couldn't let her thoughts linger on it. Either he'd be strong enough to find a way to survive whatever was waiting for him or they'd deal with the fallout. She could only rest somewhat assured that they wouldn't kill him. There was a chance they wouldn't need to deal with trying to go through resurrection magic without a body.
Pragmatically, she also realizes that trying to trade herself or Geralt for him as heartier stock to withstand whatever they had in mind would be pointless. He's about as pure a specimen as they'll likely get their hands on that's not a child. Untainted by other magics and untarnished by other traumas. If her guess is correct, they'll keep him functional for as long as possible.
And hopefully, that will give them enough time to get him out.
Yennefer grabs a cloth, sitting on the edge of the tub as she pours two of the potions in with him. Soaking the cloth in the now medicated water, she adds some healing salve to it and begins going over the blisters gently. She doesn't say anything, stewing in her own thoughts as she goes through the motions and takes in his injuries. ]
