[ Biting Iorveth gives him such pleasure that it's only fair that Iorveth receives a little from it in return. Besides, Iorveth has made Astarion feel powerful after feeling helpless. If there's anything in this world that deserves a reward, it's that.
But he stops, leaning against Iorveth's knee. Much of his history was spent going along with what others wanted regardless of his own thoughts or desires. Hells, even now, he spends most of his time blindly following Iorveth around, hardly the architect of his own destiny. Although it feels incredible, he's unused to calling so many of the shots, and a little frisson of uncertainty shoots through him. Maybe he's pushing too much. Iorveth doesn't seem particularly displeased with the direction things are going, but Astarion knows better than to trust a bodily response when his own have betrayed him plenty of times.
The haughty magistrate is gone in an instant, leaving behind only Astarion, eyes questioning. ]
