If that's an invitation, I would be happy to come make use of it from time to time. These apartments suit well enough, but they're a touch cramped, and their kitchen space is rather lacking.
Astarion, that's quite a generous offer. [He's sorry, he has to point it out.] Are you certain? Though I confess, I've rather missed sharing a camp, as well.
Of course. It would be a terrible waste, otherwise.
[It's an awful lot of space for Astarion all on his lonesome.]
I admit to being surprised, but I see no reason not to take you up on it. [Aside from the vague awkwardness between them. It's fine!] It would appear we've come a long way from camping out in the wilderness.
[Well, it is said that stereotypes exist for a reason...]
I've quite enjoyed being able to sleep in a real bed every night, yes. I didn't mind the ground too terribly, but it was starting to take a toll on my back.
[ It's not like he cares how old Gale is. It's not like Gale is a squishy human mortal who might just up and die one day. It's not like mortality is a problem! He'll be just fine when all his friends inevitability die! ]
[He really needs to stop reinforcing his vampire's bad habits...]
Saying so only caused me a moderate amount of pain, I suppose, though the number hardly matters. I rather think I would prefer a bed to the cold, hard ground at any age, regardless.
It rather seems like wasted effort to try and protect myself against such things, at this juncture. I truly believe you could turn any phrase into innuendo if you wanted to.

Is that so? I can't say I expected this conversation to be about real estate! Congratulations are certainly in order.

It isn't a big deal. It's a very large house, and without many people in it it feels awfully empty.

[ Does he actually like the forest because he's an elf? He'll never admit it. ]

Hmm. You're right, that was far too easy. Maybe I should try to make it more of a challenge. Help keep you sharp.
