[SHE KNOWS THAT'S FAIR she doesn't hug him for long because she knows he hates this and she really should've asked first, but. enjoy your big warm hug, or don't!!]
I'm so proud of you, Astarion. [she says, breathlessly, and she puts him down, brushing him off carefully.] Sorry - sorry, I should've asked, I know, you can knife me if you want --
[ hggggggggggggggggggggh don't get emotional on him. he's still a very mean and bad and angry vampire with no heart >:( ]
...
I suppose for the moment we have bigger things to worry about. Our tadpoles aren't working so it might mean other aspects of -- [ gestures ] us are dormant as well. Do you feel like you could go berserk in the same way you would back home?
[big bad wolf... it's alright, she doesn't say anything else about it because she doesn't want to be sad. she doesn't have time to be sad.]
... I'm not sure. But if Gale can't cast, and we can't worm-to-worm, I assume I'm going to be taken out at the knees. I can get mad, but maybe not mad enough.
I've gone a while without feeding before, so I suppose I won't know if anything's changed there until I start feeling weak. I can't imagine "natural" biological changes would be changed though.
[ har har. ]
It's too dim to tell if the changes the tadpole made are still working.
I don't enjoy being hungry. [ but ugggggh. ] They might have some animals somewhere. If cultists show up to fight us it'll be awkward for everyone if you're lightheaded and fall over trying to run at things.
... Okay, but if the choice is rats and me, pick me. [she doesn't want him to have to go back to eating rats, that upsets her real bad.] I can deal with a couple of cultists on an empty tank, give me some credit.
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. [ a pause. ]
I'm not going to say no, [ he's not an idiot when there's a free meal going.] but I did feed before coming here so it shouldn't be an issue for a while.
We’ll… see. Depending on how miserable this whole situation turns out to be, I might need a support after I bash my head into a rock enough times to try and forget all about it.
Hah. You get on my nerves enough and I'll help you find the rock. [teasing!!] Or we could do the easier version and get drunk as a dwarf on payday, whenever we get desperate enough to start homebrewing in a tub.
[ he explodes into dust to avoid having feelings, dying on weekend 0 in a world record for death in a murdergame. ]
If I’m desperate enough I’ll be taking you up on that. [ she could probably find the rock, heft the rock and crack it over his head at the right angle to send him into a week long coma. ] … Made something potent enough, drink enough of it and then I really might take you up on that blood offer.
You got it. Is that how it works, then? I guess it would. [thinking about that one what we do in the shadows gif of the guy going like we drank from some guys who did drugs and now i am a WIZARD]

But we've got to be realistic, you know? I've got to be. So if there isn't, then that's it.
