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.

[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.

[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?

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?]
no subject
[ ooooh. immediate applause. ]
Very nice. Do a twirl.

[ don’t just decide that for her. (but he’s right) ]
no subject
What else?
no subject
I have no idea what some of these styles even are, but they are rather fun to try on.
no subject
It's way different from the Gate, but I'm not complaining. [calling out as she's out of view:] Find me a dress! Can't go to the beach in pants.
no subject
[ but fiiiine he will start rooting. ]
no subject
[comes back to show him this outfit like vogues]

Other than those of a more delicate disposition and age, I don't think you'd have many arguments.

[grinning as she comes to look over at it.]

[lmao]
You really think I'll look good in this? Not knocking your skill, I just - I'm not what you'd usually put in this sort of thing.
[this is not because she doesn't like it, she just... doesn't know if it's okay for her to wear something so nice.]
