"You were out of control. What happened with the card was an accident, it happens to most people new to magic. It wasn't your fault. And that's coming from Yennefer's oldest friend who was very concerned for her welfare. We've both been there."
Istredd has gotten better about remarking on his close relationship with Yennefer, especially in Thorne and around places where he can be heard. Lucifer and Yennefer both taught him a lesson about that, and Geralt underlined it, so he has been more cautious. But he is stating it now so Wilhelm can see that this could have gone very different. Istredd means what he says, he is understanding, and he knows from experience how easily it can get out of hand. Not that Yennefer would be as forgiving, but that's her, and he doesn't pretend to speak for her.
He goes over a few things he wants to say, a lot of advice, a lot of experience, but in the end he takes in a deep breath and lets it out. "What do you want? Are you happy with where you are right now?"
