I thought you were an idiot, [ is probably the sort of reply that could make a romantic dinner crash and burn, but it's the truth. To offset that bluntness, Iorveth presses another light kiss to the corner of Astarion's mouth (the two half-elves giggle behind their hands again) and continues: ]
You had your entire future and freedom ahead of you, and you chose to stay instead of run. It was foolish－ so much so that it made me realize that your future and freedom were important to me.
[ Startling revelations. Astarion wasn't just another member of the party that Iorveth could say goodbye to and be fine with occasionally meeting, sharing stories, being friendly with. Iorveth felt protective of him, in a way that wasn't just about camaraderie.
A low huff, warm and affectionate. ]
Gods, I was so angry. At you, I thought. But the truth of it was that I was angry with the human who dared lay a finger on you. And angry with myself, for putting you in that position.
