We are a group of misfits and vagabonds. I don't imagine we should trust anyone that much. Not yet.

[divinestrike]

Then there's no reason for you to feel slighted. I don't think poorly of you and I do think about the things that might benefit you and that you might want.

[backscar]

I am glad we're on the same page, on that front. I care rather a lot about what might benefit me.

[divinestrike]

Astarion, I'm trying to be sweet on you. To you. One of those things.

[backscar]

Oh. I see. Was I misunderstanding you?

[divinestrike]

I see what you're doing. This is what I sound like when the roles are reversed, isn't it.

[backscar]

Only the majority of the time.

[divinestrike]

I'm not that bad, am I?

[backscar]

I might have exagerrated a touch.

[divinestrike]

Of course you did. I swear you must enjoy distressing me.

[backscar]

I enjoy teasing you.

[divinestrike]

I can tell. I guess I've earned that. It doesn't take much to make me squirm. Eventually, I'll figure out how to repay you in kind.

[backscar]

Please, darling, I'm practically an open book.

[ Lies. ]

[divinestrike]

At least try to be a little more convincing. Darling, you are anything but an open book. You are a walking mass of complexities, wrapped in sarcasm and sharp, witty commentary.

[backscar]

A man has to have his mystery, doesn't he?

[divinestrike]

As does anyone else. Mystery is an allure. It's what keeps us coming back for more. I value that. Not a necessity, but it's nice not to have all of the answers. Discovery is healthy.

[backscar]

That does explain your need to open every crate we see.

[divinestrike]

That is not at all what I was getting at. Besides, I believe in being very thorough. It's been useful.

[backscar]

You can be thorough with me as much as you wish, darling.

[divinestrike]

Oh, are you a crate now? Want me to open you up and find everything inside?

[backscar]

I'm blushing, Nepione.

[divinestrike]

I didn't know you were even capable of that. How nice that the roles between us are reversed, for once. Usually, I'm the one all filled with colour.

[backscar]

I am capable of more than you can imagine.

[divinestrike]

Anything you care to share, or is this information I need to earn?

[backscar]

You could try and pry it out of me.
