#IM SHYST SAYING

[utterdrip]

i feel like smth not touched on enough is how,,, genuine astarion is for the very first rest.

he asks the player for confirmation that this is where theyre all stopping for the night and his eyes are so wide and his tone is so light

first bit of info he’ll divulge about himself is that hes not used to curling up in the dirt, and that it’s “a little novel” with this sort of amused exhale of air and lilt at the end like hes still incredulous

if you tell him to give it a try hes like aha nope! i need time to do some hard thinkin and process all of this and it comes across as he says it that hes still processing

and the way he says “you sleep, i’ll keep watch” is so very genuine imo.

and if you thank him, it’s like he realizes that by being nice/courteous he can get the player to like him more, so ONLY THEN does he turn on the charm. at the very end on the conversation.
