"Good." Though he's fairly certain he would have known if it was way before
now. "Just seemed - I don't know. Right? The same thing like when you
started saying my name."
"I like saying your name," he murmurs. "It...sets you apart from everyone
else. Rosita calls me things in her other language which I think are

"I don't think you should. I think what you have is perfect," he admits and rests his forehead against his shoulder. "Alright, I'm going to sleep. Really. Think you can rest?"

Astarion's calming for him. Grounding.

He snuggles in closer.

"It's not as if I can tan, Jacob. It's only by an accident of fate that I don't catch fire in sunlight."

"You won't look good with a tan, baby. Besides, I like your ass just the way it is."

"You've been calling me that more often lately."

no subject
Date: 2025-03-31 07:35 pm (UTC)"Yes, it's alright. It's...not something that gets used back home, really, so there's nothing....attached to it."

Date: 2025-03-31 08:34 pm (UTC)"Spanish," he supplies with a bright laugh. "But yeah, they probably are. Rosita's entire personality can be summed up the same way."
Which Jacob also loves.

He definitely won't.

no subject
Date: 2025-04-01 09:25 am (UTC)"I think so," he murmurs. Even if he can't, he's more than happy to just loll about for a while and watch Jacob sleeping.
