[hello, we are at the ranch and she is going to hold your hand or ELSE. she takes his hand with the one that isn't fucked up and drags him to go look at the ranch but also clothes.]
What d'you want to look at first?
[at least she seems like she's in a bit more of a good mood? a little.]
[ he hates affection week actually and he hates that karlach had to murder her robot boyfriend and was sad about it so now he has to be Nice to her with a capital N. ]
Anything that isn't a week old and doesn't smell? Just because we're used to this doesn't mean we have to live like this any more.
Yes, do not make me pet all the sheep. They’re hardly going to be as entertaining as those Red Caps anyway. [ baaa. ]
New outfits though? Absolutely. I say this in an uplifting and friendly way, but you smell, Karlach. [ so does he. but there is a scent of bergamot about him now. ]
I kind of want to make you pet all the sheep exactly because you'd make faces.
[c:]
Also, wow. [pinches his hand where she's holding it.] You smell like week old clothes, leeches and oranges, so I won't be hearing a single thing out of you.
Gods. Alright, well, you can pick out whatever you want for me, then, since you care so much. [this is light, jokey. pulls him off to the clothing store!!]
I don't care what I wear, really. Maybe less leather. I haven't worn something that isn't armor in ages.
I've never seen you in anything other than leathers, darling. You'll have to give me some clues here -- shirt? A dress? [ looks at her. ] A dress could be nice.
[ i’m mobile so i’m giving myself an extra tag of time to get this dress found aaaa ]
Yes, but blasting yourself with a hose only does so much. [ … although. gazes. ] I never really asked before, but how does that work with your flames? Are they just strong enough that the water evaporates?
but also it is… nice, honestly. he can remember her delight when dammon fixed her engine at the last light and how she’d reacted to being touched again for the first time. he’s an ass, but he’s not about to pull his hand away when she’s able to touch and enjoy that touch even more than before. ]
You should take advantage of it. Give yourself a full pampering day, or as best you can in this place. Wear things you would have burned off your skin. Everything.
[it's gonna be the end of the week and everybody is going to stop letting her do this and she's going to be SO sad.
it's extra nice right now, because astarion knows why she likes this. why she seeks it at every turn.]
... Tried boiling the leeches with Boothill, last week. [she says, idly, just like - saying it to say it. she doesn't want to pretend he didn't exist. a pause, and then she sighs and shakes it off, grinning at astarion instead.]
Haven't done anything like that before, but I bet you're good at it. The pampering, I mean. Show me how it's done?
If given the right tools, yes, I can be. We'd need to find a lot of things that don't seem to be available for it be truly right, but-- you can start with a long shower and a change of clothes, and that'll be something at least.

no subject
Clothes then, yeah? Instead of me making you pet all the sheep.
no subject

no subject
Ow? [ excuse you. ] I at least managed to fashion some semblance of a bathing experience during the week.
But if they’re offering us a free wardrobe it would be rude to say no. [ take. everything. ]
no subject
[wow!!!]
Gods. Alright, well, you can pick out whatever you want for me, then, since you care so much. [this is light, jokey. pulls him off to the clothing store!!]

[ gross. ]

no subject
[nyeh]
Dress could be nice. I don't think I've worn one since I was tyke. As long as I can move. No corsets.
no subject
[ hmmmmm. ]
Well, we all have our ways but it'd be nice if we just had a dedicated bathhouse or something.
no subject
[drags him off to the clothing store come along]
Anyway, yeah. Nothing too heavy.
no subject
Yes, but blasting yourself with a hose only does so much. [ … although. gazes. ] I never really asked before, but how does that work with your flames? Are they just strong enough that the water evaporates?
no subject
[she's still holding his hand, so she just brings it up to settle over her heart for a second? it's warm, but not overheating.]
Back in Faerun it was mostly cool enough, except when I got angry. It's happened before, boiling the water before I can do anything with it.
no subject

[ elbows her softly. ]

no subject
[unless he like, wants to? she's pretty sure he would not want to.]
I'd like to look nice for once, honestly! It's been ten years since I haven't been absolutely covered in the worst shit you can imagine.
no subject
No leathers, nothing too frilly, but something that looks fancy enough to make up for the many years of the same outfit. Duly noted, darling.
no subject
[leans over to kiss the side of his head. mwah.]
Come on, you've got me all excited about it now. Maybe I'll pick something out for you, too.
no subject
i keep tagging this while i’m on mobile dammit. i will find her the best dress. i will. ]
Oh? And what would you choose for me?
no subject
no subject
and then he will go back to looking for the dress of her dreams. ]
That's the joy of a clothing store. You can dig around, find some hidden gems.
no subject
she will absolutely try this on as he's talking.]
Haven't been in a long while. Fucking - what's the name of the one in the Gate, Facemaker's? Shit's expensive.
no subject
The one where that nutbar cultist was trying to murder the owner? Or the other one? Those were some of nicest clothes I'd seen in ages.
no subject
The other one was cheaper but had less to go with. [peeks out...] What d'you think?
[shows him this first outfit like ehhhh? ehhh?]
