[As she listened, it also occurred to her that Astarion's personal food stores would likely be difficult to track down once they got closer towards Moonrise. What was he going to do as they got closer? Halsin had made mention that those lands really didn't have any life in them. With a thoughtful frown, she wondered how to approach that subject with her current company. There was a good chance, however, that he would simply keep her out of it. It wasn't... exactly her place to get involved either, which she understood.
A little wary of the way he moved about her, nothing he'd done was outright horrible. On the contrary, it was rather innocent, which was almost surprising coming from him. Or maybe she intentionally found the worst things in him. Some kind of means to keep that wall between them.
Watching him, mostly feeling him, move from one side of her to the other, she found herself pausing somewhat abruptly.]
That's not... That isn't exactly what I was getting at. We have more important things to handle than discuss Halsin and his habits.
[Which was her way of saying she wasn't about to entertain (at present, anyway) three-way 'dances' or whatever Halsin's Wildshape entailed in such moments. Thankfully he continued and she loosed a quiet sigh. She'd thought it originally had something to do with helping him track down food, which was fine, but turning it into some kind of late night adventure...?]
I don't think serenades are necessary. It would probably be better if we didn't attract any unwanted attention. If this is what you really want, I'll humour you, but let's not intentionally put ourselves in danger, hm?
[Lifting her hands, she offered him a gentle surrender. Fine. She could play along. She gave everyone else plenty of opportunities to gain her trust. Maybe Astarion deserved the same thing.]
