Oh, please, why not? I promise I am past my attempts to behead everyone in the camp. Ops, did I say that out loud?
[Clearly a small joke, he was back at apparently taking nothing seriously around her if not for short, short moments. He could understand her worries, being in the house of her goddess's evil sister and being the leader of a group that was probably marching to its doom. It was moment like this that made Astarion wonder why he didn't join the bad guys, they seemed to have it much better, to have way more control of the situation, but he just had to watch at his side to know he wasn't going to turn his back to the group.
He wasn't going to lead Nepione to her doom.
This was exactly why feelings were a weakness, he couldn't even say the L word in his mind but he knew he was making terrible decisions because he was driven by something more than self survival. He gulped down when the Tiefling reached for the little bottle, staring at her fingers for a moment and cursing the fact convincing her to rest was going to be much harder than he thought.]
You want to be sure I wake you up? I could let you sleep on my lap, you know? Oh, very generous of me, I know, but my legs do make for the perfect pillow.
[He was flowery and flirty as he reached forward, apparently trying to hold her hand between his own. The plan was slightly different, though, since as soon as he was close enough, the vampire simply used his skills to slide the little trinket around her ring finger, barely scratching his gloves against her claws but it was worth it in his head. Before she could react in any way, he was already lifting his hands up to cast the ward in the most deceptive way, letting a golden aura appear around her but pretending it was not his doing. He now just had to sound arrogant, smug, and call it a day.]
Oh oh oh! And it is done! Already attuned! Worry not, it is not cursed, but I had to make sure your little generous heart wouldn't go gift this one around when it's perfect for your safety.
Oh, and worry not, there's no way I am sleeping tonight. Day? you know what I mean.
