Hm, no. All of us here are out-numbered by the whole cult, but we are here with you as your keepers, so there is only four of us at the inn. And the housekeeper.
You cannot live there, no. However, you may have very periodic access to our bathroom when escorted and accompanied by one of us, so long as you don't abuse the privilege, or destroy our utilities.
You cannot tell anyone else this has been given to you.
he will follow! and also keep an eye on the route they're taking. and-- well. ]
I see you aren't free of these strange tattoo markings either. [ there's one on his collarbone, but it's new enough that it hasn't started bullying its way into being visible for at least this tag. ]
[ they hum in acknowledgment, so apparently they are aware of the annoying words that keep appearing even if they may or may not know what theirs says right this moment.
if they're bothered, they don't seem it. they continue toward the southwest where the fog begins to slowly part in front of them as they make their way. ]
[ the sweet lil garden comes into view again. nothing appears to have been messed up, and it's tended too very nicely. there is a man standing in it actually, pruning. they wave cheerfully, but war only nods and keeps going. ]
That is Will, the housekeeper.
[ they keep walking through the parting fog! it splits open to reveal a little, well taken care of inn. war will take astarion inside.... but no peeking. there is a front room, but they turn to lead him to the bathroom. it is a quite modern looking bathroom full of nice amenities, enjoy. ]
Here. Don't take forever. This the only place you may go.
[ he's becoming less and less of a fan of the magic in this area, honestly. he's not about to discuss what he can see because it opens him up for the same kind of probing, and he is deeply, distinctly, not interested in having that sort of discussion with anyone.
but-- oh. yeah, that sure is a housekeeper. unfair. ]
Hmm.
[ ... well. he's not going to push his luck when there's a bathroom right there. ]
I shall endeavour to freshen up in haste then. [ although is there a proper bath because he's getting in that bath if there is one. sorry war, he doesn't make the bath rules. ]
[ please learn to open up and discuss things (hypocrite). ]
Very well. Everything is inside. Will cleans up after you, but don't make it harder for him, please.
[ there is a bath!! lucky astarion. it is a really nice, big bathroom with even little things like bath oils and bubble bath and such. and hair products... ]
[ i will assume this is very hypocritical of war, yes.
astarion will have a lovely bath. wow. i'm not describing it. but it was lovely and he will emerge smelling lovely :') this is the best day he's had in ages, actually. did you know there aren't baths when you're tromping around the wilderness to go and fight a giant brain and three (now two, or one) insane people trying to control it for power?
because there aren't. ]
And what do we have to do to get one of those where we're stuck staying?

he just got (somewhat) nicer bathroom privileges?
hell yes. ]
Consider my mouth firmly sealed, then.

Very well. This way.
[ they motion toward the southwest, but turn to take the lead.
across their back shoulders is a single inky word: TRAITOR. ]

We aren't, unfortunately.

that and the bathroom. ]
And what’s the point of it? Just the whims of the place? Uncontrolled magic?

I'm afraid it's not something you can order, but you are allowed to ask to come back. Only if I'm escorting you.
Consider yourself lucky. You are the one and only person to which I have personally given permission to be here.
no subject
Oh, it’s not a one time offer then. [ nice. ] I will be sure to take you up on it then.
no subject
Try not to bother me every hour... but when you would like to use it, just let me know.
no subject
Even I don’t feel the need to luxuriate in a bath every hour on the hour, don’t worry. [ but he nods. ] I shall.
