[ sliding up behind him...

very quiet. sneaky. like a raccoon in the terrible dark, appearing behind the dumpster its chosen for the night. ]

What do you think it is?

[haematocritical]

[ the sneakiest of raccoons. the smell... he can sense it.

or rather he doesn't jump out of his skin, he's at least aware there's someone there even if he's not aware who. ]

A dragon, perhaps? It seems fitting.

[trashprince]

[ almost like astarion's a rogue or something. ]

Like... Iwatooshi's affinity?

[haematocritical]

There are dragons in plenty of places, not just tied to this cult.

[ hmm. ]

But, perhaps. I think they do hatch from eggs.

[trashprince]

So it could be more like the Vidyadhara--what I thought you were. After they molt for reincarnation, they end up in eggs before their new self hatches.

[ plagued by the memory of beautiful dragon people every day of his life. ]

[haematocritical]

So. We could have a person-dragon egg on our hands.

[ sometimes you are just egged and reborn. ]

[trashprince]

Are you worried, Astarion? You know, I'll protect you.

[ plaintive hand on his own chest. believe in the me that also believes in me. ]

[haematocritical]

[ i love that i know the exact motion i saw it in my mind. ]

I’m sure you will. But I don’t think we have anything to worry about. It seems fairly… dormant.

[trashprince]

[ WOULD YOU BELIEVE how many people have brushed off his desire to be their hat and shield??? astarion accepts it--basically!!--which is a huge win. ]

Dormant or not, if anything were to come at you, I'd take care of it.

[ it's okay to swoon ]

You don't have to fight if I'm around. You can take it easy.

[ that said, he is staring into the egg now, too (jiiiiiiiiiiii) ]

[haematocritical]

[ help astarion just humouring this and caelus is like fuck yeah. bless him. ]

Mmhmm. [ bless. ] I'll leave any vicious attacks to you then. I'll focus on getting to safety.

[ wow. ]

[trashprince]

[ this just means he's gonna go bother his ass in party games, this is a threat ]

Would you say this place is similar to or nothing like where you come from?

[ he saw some of astarion's world during memshare, but he was focused more on the man himself. hard to pay attention to the surrounding decor during all that pain and carnage. ]

[haematocritical]

[ yeah!! ]

I couldn't say. My time going anywhere other than the taverns and Cazador's mansion was over 200 years ago. You might do better to ask Gale, he's the one who spent his life wrapped up in academia.

[trashprince]

Please don't make me talk to him, he hurts my brain.

[ and yet caelus seeks him out, privately, but that's on his own terms. and now there's a lot of biting involved. ]

[haematocritical]

He's harmless, he just talks a lot.

[ it's fiiiine. sometimes he gets Big Ideas too. bite away. ]
