[ Astarion reaches out to draw Iorveth back to him. Childish, really, and selfish. Iorveth bemoaned his sharpness as a reason that he's difficult to love, but Astarion is as egocentric and greedy as they come — far harder to love than a wood elf who scowls a little too much. (And besides, Astarion likes Iorveth's scowl as long as it isn't directed at him.)

Still, he doesn't make any effort to appear less of a gluttonous juvenile, taking Iorveth's head in his hands and pressing it back into the crook of his neck. ]

Yes, a city of iniquity does seem like it would have a tattoo parlor on every street corner.

[ Alongside the shady taverns and gambling dens. Overwhelming, just as Iorveth had said. If Waterdeep is difficult for him, Athkatla will be far worse. ]

Darling. Say you don't regret agreeing to go.

[ Again, selfish. ]
