Who's offering. So, it's not just Gortash? Surely Orin's has more pride than to send someone else after us...

[troubasaur]

You might be surprised what price a certain wizard has offered for information about us. I tried to find out who informed him of the divine company we keep, but the buskers outside Sorcerous Sundries only knew so much.

[tiveragh]

Lorroakan. Of course.

You know, I'd almost like to send Aylin off to flatten him, herself, only it doesn't seem fair to ask her to do our dirty work alone. She could, I'm sure, but she shouldn't have to. Did you see Rolan, by any chance? He might know something.

[troubasaur]

I briefly caught his eye at the desk, but he vanished by the time I'd made my way over there.

[Maybe that song to encourage Rolan to stop drinking his woes away - which Savvy had improvised right there in the Last Light - has put the lad off of ever interacting with this big lizard.]

[tiveragh]

I don't know how someone reasonably intelligent became such a trouble magnet.

...I meant Rolan, not you, to be clear, but I suppose it goes for all of us.

[troubasaur]

It certainly does. I've always assumed it was my stature - much harder for someone like me to dodge trouble when I take up so much space, after all.

[tiveragh]

You do stand out in a crowd. I assume that's why you won't let us drag you into fights too often, because you'd be the tallest target.

[troubasaur]

The tallest target, and the worst-looking with additional scars. Some wear them well, like yourself. I would not.

[tiveragh]

I disagree! I think you could be rakishly charming with a scar. The problem is that the process of getting them is a little bit painful.

[troubasaur]

Yes, and pain is something I do not handle well, admittedly.

[tiveragh]

That's all right. You have many other talents. You're allowed to hide behind me in a fight.

[troubasaur]

You wouldn't think less of me?

[tiveragh]

You're my friend. I want you to be safe.

I do the same for the others sometimes. Well. For Gale, mostly. [Wizards are delicate.]

[troubasaur]

[Oh, if only she could see how big he smiles on the other side of this message.

But ah, she brings up another favorite subject.]

He's a former Chosen, Tieve. He's capable of taking care of himself.

[tiveragh]

He takes hits so badly, though! So does Astarion, but he gets all shirty if I try to protect him because I'll give away his hiding place if I stand too close.

[Her love language is interfering in everyone's shit in the most gently overbearing way possible.]

[troubasaur]

In fairness, he'd complain just as much if you didn't protect him. It's in his nature.
