I actually like dialogue without tags (well, within reason) so that doesn't bug me (and it's also not unique to Yennerfer, seems to just be Sapkowski's style), but like 95% of Yennefer's motivation appearing to stem from her infertility just annoys me so much.
but he works on managing these things. Whyborne - taking different coping mechanisms into account here - really doesn't. (Drama, suspicion, and sulking are not management.)
Yes! That's exactly what I was trying to express, but you said it so much better.
I wonder if Whyborne will ever clue in on Miss Parkhurst's desperate crush on him?
IIRC, he's only ever clued in to people wanting to be involved with him romantically when they've kissed him/attempted to, so... I'm guessing not.
And wishing you patience and strength for the job!
