Do you often snuggle and forget, darling?

[divinestrike]

[If she's had some drinks in her? Oh, absolutely.]

The snuggling part I can believe. It's the outfit that's the greater concern. But you're the type, I think, to mislead me for fun and amusement.

So did this actually happen or did you have a fever dream?

[backscar]

Do I often have dreams like this? If I'm dreaming of you we're doing far more interesting things.

[ the idle flirtation that comes far too naturally. ]

[divinestrike]

Fair. Frilly outfits and snuggling aren't really you.

[But if it wasn't a dream.
If it really happened.
If he didn't stop her.

...Does it make those two things a little him?]

Did we actually do that?

[backscar]

Would it upset you if we did?

[divinestrike]

Not 'upset,' no. It's a little embarrassing, though. I know better. You were probably very gracious and I was probably very... drunk.

[backscar]

We were all very drunk. But you did nothing untoward.

[divinestrike]

I can accept that. If I'm going to be untoward, I'd like to be mindful for it, so I can commit the reaction to memory.

[backscar]

Oh, so you've thought about it?

[divinestrike]

[...Sir.]

Surely it's not completely surprising to discover that. I have thoughts just like the rest of you. I just don't share them. Thinking, however, dear Astarion, is entirely different from doing.

[backscar]

I'm well aware of the notion. I'm used to people being more forthcoming.

[divinestrike]

You're also rather forthcoming, I think. You certainly say what you mean, which is admirable. I appreciate that. Sometimes I wish I were a little more of the same mindset.

[backscar]

Why don't you give it a try now?

[divinestrike]

You're teasing me. I wouldn't even know what to say. Besides an apology for winding up in your pillows.

[backscar]

You're already forgiven.

[divinestrike]

That was suspiciously easy. No lingering amused remarks or jabs you intend to make? Or perhaps you're just spacing them out, so I don't develop an immunity too quickly.

[backscar]

I'm not sure what kind of witty comment I could make in your hour of despair.

[divinestrike]

I wasn't in despair. I just so happen to care about how you perceive me. Shocking, I know.

[backscar]

I thought I had made that particular notion rather obvious.

[divinestrike]

Well, you see. I'm daft and sometimes I need things spelt out for me.

[backscar]

Fine, very well. I like you. Is that enough?

[divinestrike]

Well, I didn't think you hated me, but like is an improvement.

[For she can understand her need to do what she thinks is proper course of action can and must likely does about those who might be a little more pragmatic or self-serving.]

As it so happens, I think you are pretty all right yourself.

[backscar]

[ 'Like' is already rather high in his esteem, given everything. ]

Just 'all right'? Are you looking close enough?

[divinestrike]

I look plenty, I assure you. If you're fishing for compliments, I can acknowledge that you're eye-catching. And memorable.

[backscar]

But overall just 'all right'. I've never felt so slighted.
