[ Gods, Astarion is such a theater kid. Iorveth is not thinking of "something happening to Astarion" in terms of "how can I sexily help him in times of trouble" and more "if someone so much as breathes in a hostile way in front of him I will break their fucking neck", but, you know. They balance each other out, probably. The best (?) of both worlds. ]
You guess.
[ Iorveth laughs about it, because it's funny. Sue him. If Astarion ever really did wear armor, he would probably complain about the armor being too heavy and the joints chafing. He's the most lovable drama king Iorveth has ever met.
Arms around Astarion's waist, he gives the small of his back a not-quite-chiding pat. ]
I've only one eye, but it'll remain fixed on you for the duration of Athkatla.
[ No space for regrets at all. Iorveth may really dislike portals and really dislike muggy, ugly cities, but he'll be with Astarion for a clear purpose, which is a net positive in every sense of the word. ]
