No. [ She says it quickly, not having to even think about it. Envious? Who could be envious of what her friends had gone through? They'd been stranded, pulled to another world against their will, and unable to go home. Then, when they could go home, they'd left behind people they'd loved.
There was nothing to be envious over. ]
I hated that I was able to cross between worlds and you could not.
[ That sudden and vehement reaction naturally causes Thancred to look over. He'd meant it as a joking comment, to be true, but it is endearing that Val has such strong feelings on the matter. While it is frustrating that Thancred can't travel between the Source and the First with ease the way that Val can, it's something that he'd had to come to terms with before he ever returned home.
Is it ideal? Hardly. But he also knows that Ryne will be able to take care of herself. He'd taught her well, he'll admit that much. ]
Worry not. Y'shtola seems to believe she'll find a way to get back eventually, and once she puts her mind to something, well...
[ He's making light of it, for what else can he do? And there is a fair chance Y'shtola will do as she says. How long it will take, on the other hand, is a larger question. Thancred's all too aware of how time flows differently between the two stars. ]
[ Val grins at that comment, a laugh caught in her throat. Twelve only knew how often she had found herself at the mercy of Y'shtola's single-mindedness. ]
She probably already has at least six working theories. Next time I see her, she'll have me running some errand for her.

[ Not that Val minds, for the most part. ]
