Fenris’ laughter only barely clearing the farthest brunt of Astarion's high-shouldered bristling as he's so viciously attacked by loving puppy-dog licks. A prelude to the rubber band snap of his arm as it’s released from a taloned grip, voice a withering cry of irritation that sort of squeezes itself from the base of his throat. Fussy, yes.
But not exactly irate, either.]
You’ll hear the screams from beside me. [He puffs out in petulant protest, wiping his hand across silk. The wolf, now satisfied with all her greetings, collapses on her (extraordinarily) heavy side entirely within Fenris’ lap— paws stretched out to rest against Astarion in turn.] I don’t intend to be left alone with it until I can be sure it’s not about to go utterly wild on a whim.
[Ah, that’s the lie right there. First one of the night— maybe the only one, depending. But seeing as how it’s easier to ask for a dogsitter rather than a nightmare warder, maybe it’s not a cardinal sin.
Confessing in the most roundabout way possible that he doesn’t want to be left alone right now.]
And you’re already here, besides. No point in going back.
