SCAWWY 😱 astarion

[concoctive]

The intriguing common names for yarrow such as Devil's nettle, Devil's plaything and Bad man's plaything stem from an old superstition that Satan used to walk the streets at night and shake yarrow at homes of those he wished to curse. In the language of flowers, the yarrow flower shares twin meanings of healing and love. Popular in European folk medicine, yarrow contains flavonoids, plant-based chemicals that increase saliva and stomach acid to help improve digestion. Yarrow may also relax smooth muscle in the intestine and uterus, which can relieve stomach and menstrual cramps. They're also commonly used against "energy vampires" in more spiritual contexts.

[ well. he's curious, and there's no harm in curious! ]

These places are a whole heck of a lot nicer than the digs in the village... [ half-murmured to himself, but alfyn turns to astarion and sidles on over. he hasn't realized it's affection week, but still there's no hesitation in him bumping up against him companionably. he's just a friendly dog and this does not seem wrong to him. ] Wanna check some out? I've knocked on a couple of doors, but no answer yet, so I dunno if it'd be considered burglary.

[ hurghrghghghhfghghgg. every day of his life (today) he is touched by people and doesn’t immediately think ick. ugh. don’t and he doesn’t know what to do about that.

so he just kinda startled cat freezes and then relaxes in the most unsure way ever. ]

The doors won’t be that easy to crack open if no one answers. Besides, what are they going to do? Send us to sacrifice camp?

[ he doesn't seem surprised by the cat behavior - is used to it, in fact, and just lets astarion relax eventually - as he peers at the house. ]

... well, I got an axe. So it's kinda like a key to any door if you try hard enough. [ hehehoho? he does laugh, though. ] Honestly, maybe they'll leech us again.

[haematocritical]

The leeching sounds awful, do not.

[ he’s not even kidding. ]

If we had something smaller than an axe I could get this open without any issue. And I don’t want to ruin the edge of Stillmaker for this.

I sure as hell wouldn't. Gods know that we can't even be sure the ones here are the kind good for medicinal use - I already gotta deal with Karma keepin' 'em in a jar.

[ rip to karma ]

... well. Let's just try the door before we go takin' weapons to anythin', then, and go from there. If nothin' else maybe we can leverage a window open. They don't look too sturdy from the outside.

[haematocritical]

[ sweet(?) karma. ]

I wouldn’t be enthusiastic to use these leeches anywhere.

[ he will watch and see if alfyn is going to do will he break the door with his hands? ] I might be able to use the point of my dagger if need be, but it’s hardly good for finesse work.
