[ There's no hesitation; Astarion lets himself swallow, enjoying it, before he pushes himself up a little and sinks close to kiss at Dolph's neck again. ]

[laserhawk]

[ dolph rests his palms around astarion's waist as he tilts his neck. ]

[backscar]

[ Perfect; Astarion leans in, pressing close, bodies shoved together as his teeth sink into Dolph's neck. ]

[laserhawk]

[ he makes a small sound at that, but there's no other protest. this was his offer to astarion and he won't take it back. it's for freedom. to be spared from the chains. it's still a bit and his knees wobble but dolph has taken on worse. ]

[backscar]

[ It's good, but Astarion is more careful these days - no risk of draining someone dry like the first time. He eats enough to be satisfied and then he's leaning back, fingers pressing into the wound to try and stem the blood. He doesn't have the power to heal, more's the pity. ]

[laserhawk]

[ it'll be fine. dolph is a super soldier. he's bounced back from bullet wounds in less than a day. the quiver goes as quickly as it came and he breathes it out. ]

You got enough?

[backscar]

More than.

[ He's almost literally licking his lips. ]

Did you?

[laserhawk]

I did.

It was nice.

[backscar]

Just nice? [ He scowls a little. ] Am I losing my touch?

[laserhawk]

[ oh. hm. dolph is not great with praise and compliments. he looks a bit lost as he tries to rummage for better words. ]

It was lovely. Gratifying?

[backscar]

[ Astarion just laughs, leaning in to lick the blood from his neck absently. ]

Don't force yourself, it's fine.

[laserhawk]

[ dolph smiles faintly before taking astarion's knuckles and pressing a kiss to them. he's bad at words, but physical expression he can do. ]

[backscar]

[ Painfully sweet, really. Astarion hums before he leans back, glancing around the room. ]

Let's relax a little, shall we?

[laserhawk]

[ dolph takes a seat on the bed, gesturing for astarion to do the same if he wants. ]

That's what the rooms are for. Just for people who want a little privacy.

[backscar]

[ He does, stepping over and lounging on the bed with a hum. ]

Don't tell me you sleep here, darling.

[laserhawk]

No. I have a house.

[ and it's fine. strange to have a house. stranger still to be living in it alone. but livio and jean have their own places, their own lives. it feels weird to ask so he doesn't. ]

It's just for people who want to get away.

[backscar]

I share a house. Much different.

[ With Karlach and Halsin, who are... Well. Karlach and Halsin. ]

I like it.

[laserhawk]

[ dolph blinks, a little surprised by that admission. ]

That's good.

I'm just getting used being on my own again.

[backscar]

It's novel, isn't it? [ He sighs, lounging back. ] They'd smother you, both of them.

[laserhawk]

There are worse ways to die.

[ and astarion seems fine with it. dolph is glad. something to loosen the chains. ]

[backscar]

Yes, I'd know.

[ He's died, okay, leave him alone. Stretching out, he hums softly. ]

Tell me about the club.

[laserhawk]

[ dolph leans back a little, resting his palms behind him, against the bed. ]

It's a dance club. They were common back in Eden. Little getaways with no rules or law. You came to dance, get drunk and sometimes feel someone up.

[backscar]

We just have taverns where I'm from. Far less interesting.

[laserhawk]

Those are fine, but I guess I have a special place for dance clubs.

[ the closest he had come, before alex, when it came to figuring out his sexuality were gay bars. he was never brave enough to step in though. ]
