[ good monday! on this fine monday morning, astarion can find rondo out being a jock. by which i mean, he's hard at work swinging his sword! if he doesn't see him right away, well... he'll definitely hear him. ]
Haaah! Hraaaah!
[ he may in fact be the loudest man on the planet. hello ]

[ astarion rubs at his ears slightly as he walks by. ]
Is that really necessary?

HAh-
[ astarion catches him mid swing - with... actually maybe more skill than you'd expect, he stops himself from going any further and tilts his head. ]
Huh? Is what necessary? [ a beat. ] Good morning, Mr. Astarion.

Ha. Hyargh.

[ hm. karlach likes this as well. ]
Is this some weird Paladin-to-Barbarian secret ritual the rest of us don't get to know about?

[ as you will soon learn karlach and rondo are the same person
anyway he just learned what a paladin was like two days ago so he BRIGHTENS when astarion uses the term on him!!! yes!!! that's right!!!! he's a paladin! and then he processes the rest of the sentence! ]
Oh. Um, maybe? I mean, there's a whole phrase for the magic and everything, but it doesn't work here... but wouldn't that be exciting if there was?

[ (astarion voice) oh goody ]
I imagine it’d be far too inconvenient for the cultists who want us dead if we could just fireball them all from a distance.
[ … although that would be so very satisfying. ]

[ fire... yeah... that would be nice... ]
Haha... yes, certainly.... [ it does make sense that they had to be. well. defanged. considering the circumstances. ] The powers of these kinds of things can be somewhat infectious, at least in my experience, so... I can't say I find it too surprising.
[ if i had a nickel for every time i had to deal with a weird dark fallen god summoning i'd have two nickels. he frowns to himself - it is around now that astarion may see the phrase Not being able to stop him on his chest in inkspill, though rondo hasn't noticed it yet. ]

I would've preferred if they'd just left well enough alone.
[ that's not a lot but it's weird you have two nickels.
also these tattoos are giving him a headache honestly. ]

Me, too... I was in the middle of something, and I really don't want to be someone's sacrifice. I really just think people ought not to sacrifice others, actually...
[ like why is this a thing people do ]
It's okay, though. We'll find a way out.

[ hmmmMMMMMM. ]
Yes. That sounds like a wonderful plan. Maybe you could petition them to just not sacrifice us. Take a holiday, maybe. Do something else.
[ NOT THIS. ]
You're very optimistic, given every attempt to get through the fog has just reversed us back the other way.

[ the way this just bounces right off of him ]
Well, I don't feel like we'll find a way out right this second, definitely, but... there are a lot of people here who are very capable. The pathway out won't be easy, but I do think we'll be able to find it.
[ sparkles ]

[ the hives are setting in. ]
The "pathway"'s never easy, but it's not like we have something we just can easily stab our way through.
[ just vague information, monster possessions and ominous words. ] That's not a lot to go off of.

No, so, we'll just have to work together to find it.
[ teamwork!! ]
I think the four who came to see us do want to help us - we could probably start by asking them for help. Or at least a little information! Something to get us started.

If they do want to help they have an interesting way of showing it.

Do you think so...?
[ their bitchy attitude is unfortunately the exact kind of thing rondo responds well to so he didn't even think of that ]
I think they want to help - we all have the same goal, right? Getting out of here.

Perhaps.
We also don't know a damn thing about them or if they really do want to help us.

That is true. But, I think... if everything they said yesterday was a lie, I think it'd probably make more sense to lie to us and say things aren't as bad as they are than tell us a cult is trying to sacrifice us, you know?
They also panicked when they first came - when their veil spell or whatever it was wasn't functioning. That makes me think that they really are putting themselves in danger to help us, which lends a little more credibility to their story.
[ rondo is sometimes an idiot but he does have a logic brain in there somewhere ]

I would still call this very fast to be trusting them. Even if they are planning to help, it make not work out in the way they want, at our expense.

Mmm...I wouldn't call it trust, necessarily... but, that's a really good point, Mr. Astarion.
[ rondo's nose wrinkles up as he thinks... ]
It's more like...out of necessity, if that makes sense...? I don't think ignoring everything they have to say is going to be very helpful.

[ but what if he wants to be contrary. ]
... I'm aware. If they have useful things to share, then it's worth knowing. But do take it with a pinch of salt at the very least. If they do turn on you, you'll have no remorse when it comes to getting revenge.
