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. ]
