[Should he laugh at that? Doesn’t matter, he’s laughing regardless for that perfunctory contact so unexpectedly shared, his long fangs glinting in pale moonlight.] Ambitious besides.
 
[Or maybe competitive is the better word for it. Perpetually driven to rise to a challenge. 

Still, somehow Astarion imagines the two getting on like a house on fire if a decent game is in play. 

That, or they’ll just set a house or two on fire. Hard to say.]

And if you win, I hope you know I'll be demanding a very thorough description, thank you very much.

[Competitive was probably the right word for it, even though Dante was exceptionally bad at gambling and often lost at bets as was his curse. He still engaged due to his own nature which was, admittedly, quite exploitative if anyone thought to take advantage of it.

And there were people, though arguably they were people Dante viewed as being outside of the realm of causing him real harm, or people he cared about.]

I could do one better, turn up at your door and give you the experience in person. I might be several sheets to the wind for that to happen, but it could happen. [What's gambling without drinking anyway? That's all part of the enjoyment.] It'll be terrifying for the neighbors...probably.

Or enlightening for them. [He snorts mildly, resting his cheek somewhere just across his folded hands, right over the center of Dante's chest.]

You're nothing short of a wonder in your natural state, you know.

And then I'll have people clamoring at my door at all hours of the day because how could they possibly resist all of this [Dante gestures vaguely at himself.]

That could turn into a potential pain in the ass.

[illithidnapped]

Ohh. [He coos almost sweetly, the gesture veering directly into saccharine coddling on entirely played-up purpose.] You poor thing, suffering for being so bloody popular and charming.

...and very well endowed.

[rebellionyell]

[The coddling is so bad Dante can't even keep a straight face, bowing his forehead against Astarion's shoulder instead.]

None of it's true...[amendment]...except for that last part.

[He likes to think so anyway.]

But I do like it when you're flirty, it's a turn-on.

[illithidnapped]

[His responsive laugh is such a slow thing— dark and deep within his throat.]

That, my dear, is very much the point.
