[ It's the little things, sometimes: having an owlbear cub drowsily nuzzling one's knee, having a small cat curled on one's lap. Having a living creature's trust, and having it share its warmth. It'd be nice to have Astarion experience these things, increments at a time.
That said, Iorveth is still mean enough to chuckle at Astarion's expense. There are, in fact, trails of long white cat fur clumped obviously on the dark fabric of his borrowed trousers. ]
You look fetching, [ Iorveth notes breezily, adding a my sweet cat in his native language as he looks for the rest of his things. He'll likely have to borrow a shirt of his own― it won't do to go outside shirtless, so he gathers his pack and bow and steps out of the room, gesturing for Astarion to follow, and looks for Dolores who's getting ready to open up shop in the main living room of the first floor.
The only other shirt she has available in non-gnome size is, unfortunately, the sort with frills on its sleeves. "I would have given it to your sweetheart," she explains as she hands it over to him, "but it's even bigger than the shirt he's wearing now."
Iorveth pulls it on. It's obviously meant for a Halsin-sized individual, and Iorveth tries not to look too miserable. ]
