Well, I suppose I can't fault these cultists for good taste. Though I'm out here being the inspiration for these cults they might as well put me in charge of them.
[ He's also joking. Somewhat. Sort of. ]
I haven't the slightest. They get minus points for subtleties but it does assure that you will only get these most gullible of goons.
[ Even though Astarion was making light of it, he knows Karlach speaks from much darker hurts they both have. And he knows she means what she says. He won't say as much over text, but...he does like it when she says things like that. Makes it feel almost real. ]
The best way to do that would be attend his little welcoming session, wouldn't it?
Darling, cults are anything but sexy. Violence, on the other hand, may still be on the table. Though I have a feeling our mysterious "A" is going to claim pacifism for the time being.

You say that as if it were ME putting this together? I can't be blamed for everything exciting in your life, darling. Flattering though it is.

And who gave them rights to that letter, anyway?
[ That's ASTARION'S letter, thank you. ]
no subject
he talks like a conman but a really obvious conman
( or at least to her. she's got a weird suspicion that it's on purpose. )
wait
you're taking issue with the LETTER chosen?
no subject
[ Yes, yes he is. Astarion had it first. He's certain he's older. ]
no subject
no subject
But I do want to see just how capable or incapable he is.
At the very least, it may be funny.
