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.
Just thinking about giving you a nice time. But I don't want to get in your space, and I don't want you to feel used. Couldn't really give you more than that, and it'd probably be a bad idea anyway.
[she rubs at the back of her neck.]
Again. Inside thoughts. You deserve better, and...
she gets the one hug he's given so far this week even if it is monday. ]
That might be one of the nicest things someone's said to me in a while.
But I'm not about to tear you away from your charming cowboy, as we're assuming he is still out there somewhere. [ AND 'LO. TOMORROW, HERE COMETH CAMILLE TO PROVE THEM A LITTLE MORE CORRECT. ]
Especially not after thinking up so many creative ways to threaten to snap his circuitry in two if he makes you sad again.
That is a detail I am willing to forego here, Karlach. I expect there to be grovelling if we all make it out of here. [ does he stick his tongue out slightly at that? maybe.
and well. is he at the point he can say that back in any way? he's not sure. ]
...
It is appreciated. Even if I don't always seem especially sincere about it.

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.
no subject
I expect she’d have been rather dead many, many years ago with the life she’s led if she wasn’t.
no subject
Yeah. [a beat, and she hands him the bear.]
no subject
You seem jumbled. Something on your mind?
[ he will just hold halsin the bear. this is clive's husband now. ]
no subject
[a beat.]
No, it's weird. And I don't want to make you feel weird! That's why it was an inside thought.
no subject
What was weird, exactly?

He didn't mean to make me sad. [she says, laughing a little.] But thanks.
