a delighted little chuckle.
โ we'll see, we'll see. โจโ
for a big, scaly brute, eros was a softie when it
came to those who mattered. and as far as people
who mattered, it was those in their camp. not like
he remembered much else before then.
โ shall we depart? โ
โโhmโ.
Astarion blinks a couple of times. Being taken care of... that's such a new concept he can't really wrap his head around it just yet. Instead, he scoffs a little; yeah, sure. He can take care of himself just fine, but he's not going to say it. Let the candid dragonborn +
โ that is indeed an option. i cannot promise that i have a particularly interesting story to tell, but. i have nothing to hide. โจโ
he hummed. bonding! gale was an interesting man. he was more than glad to exchange little stories with him. he seems like heโd have a lot.
"It's like I haven't heard that, time and time again." Gale joked and rolled his eyes, but then proceeded to walk over and sit near his scaley companion.
"I suppose we could sit and get to know one another until the others get back..." Although, there was no knowing just how -
โ i trust you. with all the shenanigans that seem to follow this party, i have to make sure youโre taken care of too. โ
if he was hungry, he could be weakened! canโt have that. the dragonborn managed a warm smile, a low, almost crocodilian call rumbling from his throat. โ>
โYou flatterer~. Don't stop, though; you know I'm always down for shallow praiseโ.
Astarion smiles again, amusedโ and also trying to mask the way he doesn't know how to react, because he still isn't used to... kindness, or things similar to that. He can't help but feel there's +
โ guess that makes you the perfect hunting partner. your skills are useful as ever. โจโ
noting his reaction, eros tipped his head to the side. everyone in his party is their priority in his mind.
โ if you canโt find someone. i offer myself. AFTER the hunt, of course. โ
โDon't worry about that, I can be stealthy for us both. You just use those pretty hands of yours to punch hard, okay?โ
He laughs, amusedโ but stops, taken by surprise. Didn't expect that question, to be honest.
โI'm... fine, yeah. Though I wouldn't mind a nibble or +
โ hunting something sounds like a good choice. i am not the most stealthy, but we may have some luck with a deer or two. โ
heโll find SOMETHING. heโs determined! but. he pointed at him.
โ are you hungry? โ
โDon't we all? Pffโ apologies acceptedโ.
In his defence, it was the closest thing available. But he sees now that it wasn't really enough.
โCareful, don't choke. Hmm... what should we do about that endless stomach of yours? Should we go hunt something? Or someone?โ
another grumble. heโs right and he knows it. despite how confident he was in his ability to neutralize most threats, a group was always better.
โ i hate that youโre right. โ
he huffed playfully. waiting. heโs impatient. he plopped down on his little loot trunk.
โ what โ>
"Of course, I can't stop you, but I would implore you to wait until the rest of the party has returned.
You never know what might be lurking in the brush just waiting for the opportunity to attack an unsuspecting victim." And it wasn't as if Gale couldn't help, but someone -
a low, long groan. heโll starve by then, surely! heโs tempted to just head out himself. he canโt blame him though. laeโzel is one of the few people that kind of intimidate himโ
โ i can do it myself. maybe. itโs hard for someone my size to tread quietly. โ
a big man!
"You are quite the thespian, aren't you? Putting on quite the show." The mage grinned as he flicked his wrist and dispelled the notepad.
"I think we should wait though, to ensure we don't disturb her... Who knows what side of the bedroll she awoke on, and I'd much rather not -
โ i think they will. i will pass away instantly if i
eat any. it'll be a tragedy. โ
he's so dramatic. and for what?
โ if she doesn't, i could probably track something
down with enough determination. โ
โA couple leeks and potatoes wonโt harm you.โ Gale retorted as he quite literally wrote down ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต on his magical notepad.
โPerhaps we might get lucky and Laeโzel will bring back something on her outting into the woods.โ
โ i get a bit grumpy when hungry.
my apologies. โ
fruits and vegetables weren't his favorite,
but he's grateful nonethel--
he's even eating the core and stem, my lord.
โSee? Wasn't that easy?โ
The rogue smiles as he reaches out for a fruitโ an apple, red in color.
He offers it to the other with a flourish.
โHere, take it. Just for youโ, Astarion can't eat, anyways.
