[ Throttling seems quite the penalty for mispronouncing names, considering that Iorveth is currently nuzzling someone who called Isengrim 'Eisenhower'. As long as it isn't him, though, Astarion couldn't care less who Iorveth wants to throttle. Let him. He's very handsome when he's murdering.
The closeness does feel good, Iorveth's body a soothing warmth against his own. He angles his head to press his lips to Iorveth's hair. He wonders, briefly, if Iorveth might let him comb through it with that fancy brush. Grooming does seem the sort of thing the Aen Seidhe do to show affection, and— well, he'll never be one of them, even if he tries, but he can make Iorveth feel loved like one of them would. ]
As much as I'd enjoy the sight [ —of Iorveth throttling people, that is— ] it would be awfully difficult to kiss you mid-throttle.
