To be fair to you, you haven't exactly had the chance. [she picks up one, tossing it up and down - and then throws it! i rolled an 18 so it smacks the target, to which karlach pauses and goes:]
Right, right. I don't know, it was mostly to blow off some steam! I don't think I could stick it out with him, honestly. He's sweet, but not really my type.
[mostly I just didn't want to go to what might be death by rotten old brain without getting to touch someone. a little sigh.]
Oh, he is rather forward in a rather refreshing way, isn’t he? It was quite a nice change to be propositioned without any expectations or hostility coming from being turned down.
[ Shame, really. ]
I’m aware. Bathing is hardly a private activity when you’re travelling as we all do, intentionally or not.
[listen sometimes you want a dude to bite you and he does, thanks cyborgs]
Yeah, I figured you might have. [she glances over her shoulder at him. there's an absent little you deserve nice. something romantic. and then she's back to going through the bears.
the thought she catches makes her snortlaugh though, startled.]
Fuck - actually! He did! Not because I asked, he just got excited.
[a beat.] He turned back, though, look - I like a lot of things, but I've got to draw the line somewhere.
… Some time after Moonrise, was it? [ it’s a fun little game, honestly. applying events as they happened to each other’s timelines and trying to see where the pieces and paths cross and overlap.
there’s a pause at that stray thought, and then an equally absent little: I’m not sure what I’m meant to do with something romantic.
but it’s washed away very fast by that upcoming and sudden revelation ]
He did?? My, my. Who’d have thought he’d have it in him to offer without a little prodding. Do you think he’s pulled that trick before…? [ halsin my guy. who knew?? you were so kinky?? ]
[it is a fun game, honestly - seeing what matches.
that thought gets her tail to swish, and there's a jumble of things there - a lot of thoughts all at once that overlap, but he might get the gist that it's like, almost debating something.
as for halsin, though:]
I bet he has! Druids are kinky fucks! Him and Jaheria made my ears go red, one night - we were all drunk and swapping stories, and damn.
[ he gives her a Look though. like yes? he can literally hear her thoughts scrambling over each other wildly. ]
Jaheira is a minx and she knows it. I suppose that’s just how it goes when you live as long as those two have [ solidly ignoring that he’s older than jaheira and only 100 or so years younger than halsin ]. You have all the nasty little tales to bring out over the campfire and embarrassed your charges with.
[sometimes you are older than a person but she still has the most milfy vibes a woman can have. grandma will beat your ass and tell you about her life experiences.
anyway the look gets a headshake because she's... embarrassed? ok.]
Hearing one of the biggest heroes of Baldur's Gate talk about dicks was an experience.

Oh yeah?

[she could just steal it but this is more fun]
no subject
Big Daddy Bear.
[ stop. ]
no subject
You might as well just call it Halsin.
no subject
[ hmm. ] Although if you name the bear Halsin, you’ll have to explain the joke to him. He’d probably be flattered or amused though.
no subject
[a beat.]
An appetite? Is that subtle enough? I'm working on my subtle.

Yeah. He was nice about it. It was nice. [her tail flicks back and forth, and she peers over the counter...]
Sometimes I don't want nice, though. [hops the counter like a criminal]
no subject
Nice is fine. It— [ … ] Well. As I implied, I declined. But I imagine it would’ve been rather pleasant for a change.
[ he snorts as she just hops the counter and claims tentatively-titled-halsin for herself. he’s not gonna say shit. ]
Sometimes you want a little criminal. [ I wonder if he’d have turned into a bear if you’d asked. ]

he’s still looking at her like. what? whaaaat? he’s not going to judge, probably. ]
She’s got at least 150 years of experience with them, I would imagine.
no subject
Yeah. With other things too, though, she's... she's really wise.
