Lucas is very charming! ( She laughs and yet somehow still sounds sincere, because she thinks he is! Like...not in the same sense that Astarion is charming, but he has his own way of acting and speaking that she finds endearing. She will defend his honor here.

Rowan is so cute though, and Lioriley's eyes glance as best they can downward to see if she can even tell what they're turning in their hand. She heard mention of promise rings before. did they finally do it? ) I hope he walked you to your room afterwards. Or did you walk him? ( equally as romantic. )

In a daft and soft way, yeah, not like Max who's all suave until he starts dropping stupid puns on you. [Has Rowan mentioned how much they love their mates? They're both perfect, and Rowan's so lucky.

They snort, and shake their head to the question, then lift their hand to tuck their hair out of their face again, revealing the ring on their finger.] More like we staggered back together. Got lost a couple of times too. We ain't classy, not like you and your Astarion.

( She laughs, unable to argue their very valid points about either man. It is very clear they love them both a lot. How sweet. )

In our defense, we did more speaking than drinking. And I cannot become intoxicated, so there was no need to stagger home. ( she hadn't spent the night with Astarion either, not in the biblical sense.

The shine of the ring is enough to get her to ask: ) Forgive me if this is too forward - is that a promise ring? Lucas spoke of his idea for some during our friend-date.

You can't? Fuck, you're missing out, it's great fun. Well, until it ain't, obviously, but I'm one of those lucky bastards that don't get hang overs. [Or at least, they can heal them off after the fact.]

Oh, this? [They twist it, and smile softly.] Yeah, we exchanged them at New Years. Keeping things special, even though we ain't exclusive, you know.

Speaking of which, and please tell me if this is out of order, how're you two managing it? [Is she off the market now?]

Before the full restoration of my healing magicks I felt the beginnings of a buzz, but only after an excessive amount had been ingested. I will not miss the feeling overmuch. ( She experienced it once. She's good forever now.

Her leylines brighten a little.) That is wonderful to hear. I had hoped he would go through with it.

As for Astarion and myself we have decided that the demands of the realm make it difficult for one to be sexually exclusive, but we do not discuss our exploits. ( a beat. Her voice drops just a touch. ) I fear I might become jealous if I were to know what he does with others. But, romantically, we have vowed to only be with eachother - and, if I am honest, I much prefer it that way. He is the only one to have my heart, and I, his.

Yeah, we'd been talking about them from when we all got together, and Max and Lucas had already discussed them too. Just needed to iron out the kinks first, right? And the new year seemed like as good a time as any to seal the deal, as it were.

That's a good way of dealing with it. I don't reckon it's possible to go any other way in this place, but it's good that you worked it out together.

Means I don't have to sulk about him stealing you completely away too. [They add, with a playful wink.]

( her smile was beaming; as bright as the lines on her skin, genuinely pleased to hear they had all decided on their promise ring arrangement. Even if she didn't really understand 'promise rings' in general. ) You are all so precious. ( and Lucas had the audacity to say she and Astarion were disgusting. )

I am sure I could manage if I tried, but I do enjoy the sexual intimacy I have shared with a few others. ( A slight grin, cheeks darkening. ) Yourself included.

[Rowan snorts, but smiles in turn, twisting the ring again.] Dunno about that. I'm bloody lucky, I know that much. [It's more than they ever thought could be possible.

And that blush is so cute. They wish they were with her to kiss her cheeks.] Well, just so you know, my bed's always open to you if you want to have fun again sometime. Or just cuddles and chats too.

So are they. ( She adds with a hum, glancing to the ring once more - as best she can through the tome, anyway.

Her smile widened. ) Glad I am to hear that. Though you may have to compete with Astarion if it is cuddles you are hoping for. ( that's a joke.

it's mostly a joke. )

[Rowan smiles a little, but it's still hard to believe that they didn't get the better end of this bargain. Just look at Lucas and Max! And Rowan gets to share in on that.]

Pfft, well. Ain't much hope for me then! I'll have to seduce you just to get cuddles afterwards. [They waggle their eyebrows, clearly playing. Or at least mostly.]

( She laughs heartily at that, leylines flickering. )

I was only teasing! Well, for the most part. Although I am not opposed to your method either. ( Not that it would take much for Rowan to 'seduce' her, given the fact that they had already slept together. ) Really, all you need do is ask and I will make time for you. Cuddles or otherwise.

[It might not take much, but the flirting is part of the fun. Rowan flirts twice as much with Max and Lucas as they ever did before.

But their smile is true as she offers her time, tilting their head just slightly and leaning into the camera a little.]

Then that makes me almost as lucky as your Astarion.

And for the record, the same goes for you, Lior. Anytime you need me.

Almost.

( If she smiles any wider her face might start to hurt. ) I know. Thank you, Rowan.

Good.

Listen, I'd better let you get back to what you was doing. I'll see you at work, yeah?

( She nods, only a little disappointed. )

Very well. I will see you soon. Take care. ( and away she goes. )
