I have Lynch under heel. Whatever can be gained from him, I can acquire. There are others, however, whose favor and confidence you could gain by applying pressure to their enemies.
[He doesn’t bother with the why, for the time being. The reality is that he is going crazy in this city. Geralt of Rivia was a nomad, a hunter, someone used to being an errand boy. Sitting around and sitting still wasn’t good for him. Just a week of aimlessness was enough to drive him mad.]
Morningstar's intelligence is shite, but there's good work for mercenaries in the megacorporations. I could provide an introduction to someone with Pulsar, I'm sure. They're competitors with Giles Bell, where Lynch is presently employed, but in this world, competitors are conspirators.
[ what benefits one of them benefits all of them. their companies may be competing for the people's money, but they still have more in common with one another than with their customers. ]
I'm sure he would be grateful for any information that trickled his way, where interesting targets are concerned.
[ so, yes. she's also planning to use him to advance her position with lynch by showing she can get information for him about his competitors. geralt caught her, as he always does. ]
[He is frightfully absent of the familiar here in New Amsterdam. Some might find that exciting, but Geralt is not excited by very much in his old age. Its uncomfortable. Right now, he’d kill for something familiar.
Yennefer is what is familiar. Even when he knows she is using him, taking advantage of his need to do something. Just having her close — it settles his nerves.
And maybe, just maybe, he has some guilt over his last wish.]
[ that's all she says because as far as she is concerned, that settles their business. it stings to reject the familiar, to spurn something she wants so badly as she wants him, but she has more important business. surgery, for starters. and lynch to manage. ]

And Lynch wants to make sure this Pulsar is still conspiring with him, instead of against him.
Fine.
[This all around sucks. He took jobs from monarch, sure, but he so detested being any sort of political pawn. But its also better than doing nothing.]
