[a beat, and then she huffs out a laugh, and leans over to kiss the side of his head. he's not so bad at comforting words!!]
That's all I can ever hope for. [she spent ten years in hell thinking that was it for her, that nobody would ever remember her again. it's been nice, here.] ... It's been really good to talk to you again, hope you know that.
[astarion is her blorbo she loves him so much. and also he is a cat that doesn't want to take a bath.]
He's a brat. [SO fondly.] He takes... I don't want to say work, because that's more mean than I want it to be. Patience? I don't know.
He's a little like Nehan, actually, in that he's been through so much that he's just not willing to let anybody else fuck him up. You've got to endure the bites to get to the nice stuff.
