[ Damn. Linus would be heartbroken to hear Damris talk so poorly of mortals, but, well, he'd also be very confused at why his handsome tiefling friend is talking about mortals. It's the exact same way Astarion had operated for centuries. The same way he still does operate, sometimes. Treat everyone as if they have not only the potential but the desire to hurt him. A 'when', not an 'if'. ]

[ In no way intentionally, but he'll still accuse Damris of being a copycat anyhow. ]

Mmm. Perhaps we should just throw him in one of those cells we passed.
