[ Gods. Astarion laughs at that, light and tinkling and full of genuine amusement. Of course he would absolutely write his name on Iorveth's ass, if only Iorveth gave him the chance. 'Property of Astarion Ancunín' right above his lovely bottom sounds just right to him.
But even he knows a pipe dream when he sees one, so he doesn't try to convince Iorveth that it would actually be very tasteful, very classy. Instead, he pivots to the next idea, tracing down the side of Iorveth's neck. ]
I am fond of the idea of us matching.
[ Astarion, with the puncture marks that he absolutely hates. Iorveth, with the puncture marks that Astarion absolutely loves. ]
—But my understanding is that such a thing is rather permanent.
[ Just in case Iorveth wants to rethink the idea of having Astarion's mark on him for life. He really shouldn't even give him the opportunity to reconsider, but he loves Iorveth enough to not want to saddle him with something that will one day make him unhappy. Astarion knows what it feels like to be permanently changed by someone that you resent for it, even if you asked for it at the time. ]
