Wait. Why would you let me know? Should I even be aware of things like that? I mean, I guess if it involved me, then yes. I'm not your mother. [He's older than her, after all.] You don't need to report to me. I just want you to be happy.

[backscar]

But you seem so very interested in my non-existent love life.

[divinestrike]

Well. I would use the word curious. If only because, again, I would want to encourage something beneficial to you? Why am I even trying to explain this to you. I care what you want. You're important to me. That's it.

[backscar]

And I do you. Of course.

[ It seemed painful to admit! ]

[divinestrike]

[Maybe a little.]

Okay. So we care about each other. That's. Great? And we're important to one another. Lovely.

[That sure is what she's taking out of this conversation.]

[backscar]

And now we have all that delightful, sappy stuff done with.

[divinestrike]

Of course. Is this the part where I ask you out on a date or something? Do you even go on dates?

[backscar]

I've never been asked on one.

[divinestrike]

Well, let's change that. Why don't you let me take you out?

[backscar]

Where would you like to take me, darling?

[divinestrike]

Somewhere that you'd like to see. It can be full of people or just the two of us. No tadpole discussion. No work. Just leisure. I don't know. Maybe I can put together a picnic or something.

[backscar]

A picnic sounds. Lovely. As long as there's wine.

[ Since he can't really... Eat. ]

[divinestrike]

That was what I had in mind. Maybe a little unorthodox to have a picnic without much food, but I see nothing wrong with reinventing the idea. Does that mean you're accepting my proposal?

[backscar]

It does. I am at your disposal.

[divinestrike]

Please. As if I would dispose of you. Red wine? Would you like for me to pack anything special for you?

[backscar]

Just yourself. That's all I need.

[divinestrike]

[Oh.]

Wine and myself. Got it. I won't fit in the basket, so I hope that's fine.

[backscar]

I am sure I will make do.

[divinestrike]

Of course you will. Let's go tomorrow. In the afternoon. So you can enjoy a little of the sun and watch it set.

[backscar]

That sounds surprisingly perfect.

[divinestrike]

Nothing is perfect, Astarion, but sometimes we may be able to get pretty close to it.

[backscar]

You make it oh so easy to say sweet things to you.

[divinestrike]

Do I? An unintended side-effect, I assure you.
Unless you felt you needed excuses to do so. In which case, I guess I could try to make that happen.

[backscar]

An excuse does help me feel less sappy.

[divinestrike]

If it helps, I wasn't planning to tell anyone that you can be sappy. No one would believe me, anyway, even if I did. Your secret is safe with me.

Although I suppose I could seal my words with a kiss.
