This is also not how he anticipated seeing Yennefer again. He just wants to go inside and let this play out how it will. His dislike of Ardbert is simply that: a man he'd rather not deal with at any point, because it's a waste of his time. He has little room in his life for relationships of no value. But he's not concerned about whether Yen can handle him or not. She can handle just about anyone.

The door locks behind him as he follows up the rear. Jaskier isn't here, nor Ciri, which is for the best.

"Not too comfortable."

It's clear Geralt has no intention of joining them for their chat; he's already moving towards the winding stairs that lead to the upper landing. He'll talk to Yennefer after. If either of them are in the mood for that, in any case.

He plans on eavesdropping, though. Not that it takes much for him to overhear a conversation.
