Bonjour, mes amis.

[ Faintly sing-song, but in a drawling and subdued way. It doesn't do to sound too chipper and excited about asking people semi-invasive questions. ]

I have been talking to the Seneschal, and we thought—well, it's possible we might need a fraternization policy. Or a record, at least, in case it becomes a problem later. And to decide whether that is necessary: information about fraternization.

[ It's obvious from his voice that he's pleased that that rhymes. ]

So who is together? Or involved, if together is a scary word.

Please feel very free to rat out your bashful friends.

[ As an afterthought, ]

If you have opinions about the policy or record part, I will take those, too.

Next time tell your shirt to get out of the way of my knife.

Anyway I can't sew, but there should be a kit already tucked away somewhere in the corner by the hearth. Dig it out for me if you haven't taken to prowling Lowtown like a restless pup in my entirely necessary absence, and I promise I'll do my very best to make amends.

[Get it? Amends? A-mends because sewing— mending— ]

Fair warning that I might wind up just stabbing you again in the process, though.

[doggish]

Astarion, I would wager out of the two of us, it's you who has need of memorizing more of Lowtown. I know this city blind; you are far newer here than I.

And if you pun at me again, I will be waiting with a knife, and we shall see who stabs whom first.

[illithidnapped]

...Promise?

[doggish]

[doggish]

It was a threat.

[illithidnapped]

Well how was I to know the difference?

It didn't feel very cutting.

[Is he doing this on purpose? Yes. Yes he is.]

[illithidnapped]

Anyway, I'll see you shortly.

[A beat, before:]

...and I'll do my best to be on the lookout for any invisible knives once I'm there.
