Istredd has less to miss and this place is becoming more interesting by the day. He was in the middle of something important, but he was just the messenger, so if they continue on without his presence, it'll be fine. The only person he cares about on a personal level is Yennefer, who is here, and always, always complicated. So he's taken this with relative ease compared to others. A castle with mages and books? Home sweet home.

The Singularity has become his focus after reading many books, and Istredd has a tendency to get obsessive about unknown magical entities. There is not enough about it, it seems like one of those things only people in power can fully answer, and he is too new.

"They say our abilities will return. Although the when is unclear." Istredd may not trust them in many ways, but in that, it makes the most sense. It would be foolish to promise that and not deliver, right away being revealed as untrustworthy liars. But he misses the magic at his fingertips. He has never been powerless before.

"The Singularity is the center of magical energy in this world. And they say it is connected to all other worlds, ours included." Theoretically!
