Yennaia bits in Ep 3.03 (Part 2)
Having spent some time talking and looking at each other’s lips in a bank vault, Yennefer and Tissaia emerge from some sort of alley just as Rita is done slapping Ciri across the face.
Tissaia takes a moment to appraise her (perhaps thinking it’s for the best Yen got a teenager instead of a baby because Tissaia cannot understand people wanting babies)
We then see a repeat of the ‘extra’ bit we saw from when Tissaia collected Yen from Vengerberg.
Yennefer also obeys this command.
Concerned by the blood starting to leak out of Tissaia’s eye, Yennefer offers to take everyone to a spa for the day.
At the spa, Rita is horrible to Ciri, and Sabrina is delightfully Sabrina, and Tissaia just sits and watches all the scantily clad women, having chosen to put on more clothes than she had on outside.
Ciri is a little brat, and Yennefer yanks her out of the room so that they can have a talk about how Yennefer has sold her soul because she’s giggling and drinking with her friends. (I found this to be quite an extreme reaction from Ciri, who must’ve seen Calanthe and Eist play politics on more than one occasion).
Ciri takes things too far by insulting Tissaia.
The eel question is valid. The vapid comment is a bit judgemental, considering Sabrina is a powerful court mage, controlling a King, and this is her downtime. But fine, she’s a teenager. Anyway, Yen’s not having it and chastises Ciri vehemently.
I wonder if this is her talking to herself a little. Like she realises she should have been more grateful to have Tissaia when she was younger.
There should absolutely have been a cut to Yen’s expression here. Sadly there was not and we are left imagining what’s going through her head at this point.
They argue some more and Yen tells Ciri to suck it up and get used to this life before storming out.
Tissaia comes to find Yennefer, clearly knowing she’s upset. And once again Yennefer is open about her actual feelings.
Someone on the writing staff enjoys the phrase ‘curry favour’.
Tissaia is slightly blasé about being able to protect Ciri and getting the Kings back under control, but Yen decides they need to sort themselves out first.
Tissaia is taken aback by this new age hippie sounding Yennefer.
(As we have established, her ‘type’ is bad tempered, impetuous arseholes who always have to be right. She’s worried Yennefer has turned nice.)
Once again, Yennefer finds Tissaia’s lips utterly fascinating.
And there we end episode 3.

Hello!! Want to ask you about Orikan. To be more precise, about his tail. Do you think, after biotransference, how did he felt about new part of him, that clearly wasn't there before? I mean, absolutely new body is already big push to dysmorphia and there's that. Or do you think it wasn't big of a deal for him in comparison to other stuff he was going through?
I think he might have added the tail himself! It's pretty common for crypteks to modify themselves, as they have much more understanding and control of living metal. If you look at the new models, most of the crypteks have so many tendrils they look more like robot jellyfish than skeletons. If anything, Orikan might be the exception, one of the few clinging to something at least resembling his previous form. Oddly sentimental for someone so obsessed with moving on from the past...
However, Orikan is practical in his own way, so I imagine he warmed up to the tail pretty fast once he realized he could use it for all kinds of day to day tasks, like picking things up while his hands were busy doing chronomancy stuff, strangling Trazyn, and reaching high shelves.

You go to the gym to make the bad thoughts go away
I go to the gym so my girlfriend doesn’t have to carry the weight of being the beefiest in the relationship
We are not the same
