It's all the destruction, it agrees with me. Makes it acceptable for you to be seen with me in public.
[the half bow she gives is mocking, in the gentlest way - this problem will fix itself, so long as she can steer clear of it.]
Though I'll be asking for more from the ones who hired me after all this mess. If I'd known it was going to end up this way, I'd have brought more people along.
[Fever, he's hurt! But not so hurt, really. He offers her his hand.]
Darling, you know you need only ask and I'll gladly run to your side to join you in the bloodbath. I could not ask for a better partner in the danse macabre.
If I had known it was going to be bloody, I would have invited you.
[and she'll take his hand, as she always might.]
It was supposed to be very simple and boring. An intimidation job. And then they decided to get agitated, and when they're pulling weapons I'm perfectly justified to start casting. Then someone had to duck when they could have taken the fire bolt to the chest and been fine.
[you know, Fever, not everyone is you with your consideration that if you're still alive, you're fine.]
At least they'll blame who hired me, but I still want to be careful for a few days.
[People are hardly reasonable when it comes to violence, and Astarion knows it well. He draws her hand to his lips, kissing the back of it before giving it a tight squeeze.]
I see no fault in your actions at all, my dear. But let's take our time together. If anyone does seek to send their ire in the wrong direction, we'll swiftly teach them the error of their ways.
[the look on her face is a little warmer for all his courtesies, some of the irritation at the mess of it all falling away.]
Let's hope it happens once, so you don't get left out of all the fun. [though she's not a complete fool and won't be actively seeking it.] But beyond that, I'm at your disposal, since all my plans have been effectively canceled.
[given that they were nothing serious, she feels fine letting them slip away.]
