ā Darling, you know I love your little menagerie of⦠pets, ā he begins, emphasizing the word pets with such disdain itās clear that he doesnāt think theyāre that at all. Astarion is certain that Ark has caught him on more than one occasion daydreaming about how an owl bearās blood would taste (or what petting all those glorious feathers would feel like, but heās not ready to admit that yet), and heās made his dislike of the dog known as well.Ā
Heās very much a cat personārespects them, really. When theyāve had enough affection they simply slink away into the shadows. Theyāre not demanding or clingy or anything the flea bitten mutt is. Why couldnāt they pick up one of those over all of this?
Then thereās the spider. The spider that looks at him like heās the meal every time he so much as touches Arkezet with his pinky. Itās intolerable. And creepy. Astarion fully expects to come too from his nightly meditations to being mauled by the wretched thing.Ā
ā But can you have the spider please stop eyeing me like Iām a particularly large bug, ā he finishes, his mouth turned sharply down.
