More the stabbing than the punching, and if you really want to be specific, it's more the bludgeoning and slashing bits I like.

[she likes axes!]

Your brother? Ooh, what's he like? [she sounds like, genuinely excited, tell her about your family...]

[mygod]

[ she can't see it, but their look is withering. stabbers... ]

He is a soldier.

[ablazement]

[you cannot wither her spirit she's resistant to piercing damage]

Gathered that. What's his name? [a beat.] What's your name? Not this War nonsense.

[she is like 100% sure they are not going to answer this question but who is she if she doesn't shoot her shot]

[mygod]

[ take the damage. ]

I'm afraid neither of those things are something I wish to divulge to you. I think you understand.

[ablazement]

I figured. Might as well try.

[a beat.]

Bet you don't want to talk about the big traitor word across your face, either.

[mygod]

[ NO THEY DON'T, THANKS. they are quiet for a long moment. ]

I never said I was a good person. In fact, I am not a good person. I never at all considered or thought about being a good person until recently.

I have always done what I needed to do to get what I want.

[ablazement]

[NORMALLY she'd pretend she didn't see it but there's something about this person that she wants to just. noogie? she just wants to noogie them.]

Huh.

[her tail flicks back and forth.]

Has that worked out for you?

[mygod]

[ please pretend to not see. also do not do that at all. ]

It worked extremely well up until some people started sticking their noses where they didn't belong.

[ablazement]

Yeah? That happens when you do traitor-y stuff, people start looking harder at you.

Well. Most of the time. Sometimes you just get away with it, but that's what making a deal with the devil nets you.

[mygod]

Speaking from experience?

[ablazement]

From the seat of the person who got fucked over, yeah.

[mygod]

I see. Go on.

[ablazement]

[she gives them an amused look, actually.]

All of you are such Nosy Nancies for how much you hate being asked questions.

[mygod]

[ they make a noise that sounds very much like a hmph. ]

I see no necessity in small talk or comradery, so this is what you will receive.

[ as in, they are trying their best here. ]

[ablazement]

[THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST]

You lot are so funny. Every one of you has no fuckin' idea how to talk to people. [she finds it so endearing.] It's a long story. I trusted someone, he sold me away, and they put this in my chest.

[thuds her fist against the glowy engine there.]

Nobody stopped it from happening. The guy who did it got made into the Archduke. I'd call that traitor behavior, yeah?

[mygod]

[ EXCUSE THEM? damn. ]

It's concerning there are more than one of you with something in their chest.

[ why. ]

That is quite traitorous, yes. Did you... stab them into a bloody mass afterward like one of your friends?

[ablazement]

[i see astarion has told you things]

You know, now that you mention it, we kind of are a bunch of ticking time bombs. [huh. anyway.]

... Not stabbing, but he was a bloody mess. Yeah. Wow, he told you about that?

[mygod]

It's concerning.

[ they're just saying. ]

He said he had done the deed, and I mentioned it must have been personal, which he confirmed. But he did not really explain who or why aside from my assumption it was related to cultish behavior based on our conversation.

[ablazement]

[her tail sways back and forth.]

It's his business, so I won't go blabbing. But all three of us know a little something about being sold out by a fuck in power, one way or another.

[mygod]

I see. Well, I likely am well on my way in your footsteps perhaps.

[ they don't clarify. ]

Would you consider yourselves... friends?

[ablazement]

[you can't just say this and not elaborate what does that mean wario]

Who, me and Astarion? Of course. He's one of my best mates. [getting this answer out of astarion would be like pulling teeth however]

[mygod]

All three of you, but I guess that answers my question anyway.

[ if she can tolerate astarion, she's gonna have to be able to tolerate gale, too. this is cute. i think this, not war. ]

[ablazement]

[HELP I'M LOSING IT yeah she tolerates both of them way too much]

Gale too, yeah. I love them both, despite everything. [she's so free with it. can you feel my relief. can you feel how good it is to play a character who just says i love you without wanting to vomit]

[mygod]

[ YOUR SOCIAL CHARACTERRRR ]

Is it only the three of you?

[ablazement]

Nah. We've got us, Lae'zel, Wyll, Shadowheart, and Halsin.

Oh! And Scratch! He's the most important.
