It's Iorveth's prerogative to hide himself from anyone he likes, but the fact that his immediate reaction is one of self-consciousness makes Astarion frown. He's not certain where he discarded the eyepatch last night, so he lets his eyes wander along the floor before he spots it and snatches it up, dropping it nonchalantly into Iorveth's lap. ]
