[ tara is definitely hanging around with karlach for the record, anxiously awaiting gale too. ]
Yes, yes, I'm fine.
[ a bit sore. he's mostly healed up, his shoulder seems back in place. the hand is stiff and scarred and is probably going to be an issue for later, and the claw mark across his front is closed over. maybe not all the way healed, but not terrible.
the mark is still glowing, however, along with veins stretching around it. ]
[ from the swamp. he doesn't seem too concerned about anyway, even though it's glowing like that.
anyway he'd pretend he doesn't know what karlach is talking about, but he expects he actually does - giving her a small smile. he's not quite sure how to feel himself yet, it's all kind of fresh, but he doesn't mind hearing it. ]

Your poor hand. [she grumbles, and then - it's still alpha week so she just straight up reaches to touch the mark, running her fingers over it.
a beat, and then:]
I'm really proud of you.
[genuinely, warm.]

Thank you, Karlach.

You're not so bad at the close combat, either. [teasing, a little. she offers a hand.] But - yeah. Here we are. Both of us living.

[ he will take the hand (with his good non-smashed hand). ]
... Next week I think I would like to make it my goal to kill no one at all?

Not going to argue with you on that one. [huff.] Let's keep Astarion out of the ritual, yeah? Now that we've both been up there.
[like they can decide who picks executioner but listen]
