"Yeeeah I don't think that's happening any time soon but thanks." Blitzø instead reaches down to scritch the kitten behind the ears as a further excuse to avoid directly looking at Astarion.
"Fuck this was easier when I could bring alcohol or whatever... I just wanted to, you know. Apologise and say thank you and shit." Finally he does straighten and meet Astarion's gaze.
"You've put up with a lot of my shit and been there for me a few times and I guess I just wanted to say, you know. Thanks. Kinda wish I could have bought you something as well but Trevor's been hung over as shit so I couldn't ask for anything."
"I dunno, I guess I was just thinking about what you said and Cain was saying about trying to talk to people and... figured you deserved it." He taps his claws against each other, well aware that neither of them knows what the fuck to do now.
"I mean, I'd have brought you something to drink too but that wouldn't have worked out. Sorry it's kind of a shitty thank you."
"I don't have much of a basis for comparison," Astarion admits, wryly.
"You're welcome, anyway. I didn't see much of you during that mess on the
other ship, but you seem to have emerged unscathed....?"
"Oh yeah," he glances down at himself and shrugs. "There's healers and shit so it's fine. Besides, I got stabbed most on the other boat before it flipped over. At least on the shitty boat I was expecting that to happen."
More or less. He'd been on edge enough that it wasn't unsurprising anyway. "What about you? You do ok in all that shit? No one did anything to you, did they?"
"I stayed out of the way, for the most part," Astarion says. "We have
crewmates with nigh godlike powers, and I have no interest in getting in
the way of their battles."
"I will," Astarion drawls. "And I don't do much of that magic bullshit,
darling. I can throw a single small fireball, say - Gale can turn an entire
room into an airless inferno with a single word. To say nothing of the
likes of John or Jedao."

Astarion just lifts an eyebrow and closes the door behind him.
"...by all means. Make yourself comfortable."

Date: 2024-11-02 12:31 am (UTC)"...Ah. I - I see."
Astarion is not really used to being the recipient of gratitude and/or apologies, so getting both at once is quite a lot.
"May I ask what brought this on?"
