Spending time with you is wonderful, and I enjoy it.
[ HE DOESN'T MISS A BEAT. the way i realised that it's because he didn't tip and that's what's happening because nat just did the same thing to me in another thread. ]
[This is exactly why the M9 decided immediately they could adopt him. AAAAAAAAAAA, we truly dropped tipping curse right on top of you after you gave us Jamba Juice.
Speaking of, he is LOOKING at this fucking juice now, horrified with dignity. Well, maybe his dignity has now disappeared.]

You guys really are just out there doing things. THIS MAKES HIM FLUSTERED. Please stop talking.]

Darling, stop apologising. It's nice to be complimented.

Fine...
[He wants to say it isn't nice unexpectedly, but he knows Astarion of all people won't think that.]
Anyway... This is not... terrible necessarily. The juice.
[Not the compliment curse.]
