@anquenin // cameron & astarion // bg3 starter call.

❝ i don't mind if you bite me, ❞ the prince says, speaking up hesitantly, not knowing if topic is broach-able or not. it will have to be, now that he's calling attention to other's needs. cameron wants more than anything to be useful, helpful, and if this is one of the ways he can do it, he's content to volunteer. ❝ as long as you ask first, and we find somewhere . . . private for you to indulge. i can only imagine how hard it was for you to go without what you really needed, for all those years. ❞ cameron isn't trying to sympathize; he's trying to put the offer into perspective. ❝ i don't want you to be deprived when there's no need for it. i'm happy to help. ❞

@anquenin // keanu & astarion // starter call.

❝ this probably feels weird for you, right ? ❞ empath guesses as he comes up to astarion's tent, making sure other can see him before speaking; he doesn't mean to startle. to elaborate, keanu gestures to the gathering around them, the way voices of guests murmur with barely suppressed joy and delight in their victory. they saved lives today, and from what keanu can gauge (even without the help of a bond between them), astarion's uncomfortable with it. the criminal gives the pale elf a little smile, hopes it comes across as encouraging. ❝ nothing wrong with doing a little good, every now and again. i'm not suggesting we make a habit out of it, mind you. ❞ small smirk comes to lips, secretive and conspiratorial, shared with other. ❝ i don't think that would be healthy for anyone's ego. ❞
