[ Not exactly the attitude of a man looking to buy something for his "special love", but whatever. He tugs Astarion to the side and turns so that the both of them are standing with their backs facing the little reptile merchant, bodies slanted in a posture that reads distinctly conspiratorial. ]
If I distract the thing, [ casually, arms folded, ] would you be able to steal the hand?
[ He'd briefly considered just leaving it and telling Lae'zel to fetch it herself, but that conversation is possibly a bigger headache than shoplifting from a jabbering kobold, and sometimes one has to encourage larceny in a circus to cope with the horrors of casual life.
