Ordinarily I need all the warming up I can get [ haha funny undead joke ] but we’re being brave and trying new things today.
[ hmmm. there probably is some contortion going on here. also essek take your mask off he thought they were whatever grumpy anti-social neutral evil elves call friends. ]
There is the mood of an eye roll to go along with the eye roll he gives at THE TERRIBLE JOKE.
He wanders over to Astarion's side to take up each end of the jewelry and assist with clipping it behind.]
Well, that may change for you if you'd like. The matters you took into your own hands will be rewarded by the strange curiosities room below the swamp.
[ said a little dryly because haha yeah! stab a girl and get a prize :') he's still so smad ] She did say she expected me to use that reward for myself, or else. Imagine if you'd told me otherwise.
[LOOK. He agrees, but he must say it anyway because it is a thing.
He carefully hook the jewelry, then adjusts it so it settles neatly, then steps once back to observe.]
I think she had an inkling. What do you plan to do first when not damned to be vampire spawn? Or is that also something you aren't so sure about once burdened with the choices of freedom?
[ he'll do a little twirl for him, but it's a muted one. ]
Freedom is already a giant burden, but one I'll just have to get used to. I... would've prefer it not come to me via a knife to her heart. [ selfish though. the only way he would've got it would be to have killed anyway. ]
[He watches him for a long moment. The vibes are sympathetic, but resolute.]
Then take it, Astarion. It was not Karlach's fault nor your own what happened to her. She left you with the opportunity, and she would certainly want you to reap the benefits of having to go through with something she likely never wanted you to feel like you had to do again.
It was awful, but in the end... you saved her, and... she saved you.

I know. Let's not sully her wants and also her sacrifice by not doing it, though.
[Karlach would be so pissed, he knows. He knows Astarion knows.]
Gale, too. He told me he wants that for you, but only if it's your choice.

[ simple as. and then she'd have gone boom on main and he'd have felt terrible. ]
... I want that for me. But not if it came from tying my life to someone else's. This is... a gift I can make use of, received in a rather awful way.

[ imagine that. ]
Do I just go down there and select what I want, then?
