"Aging?!"

Astarion spoke incredulously with a raised voice, seeming offended and almost afraid of the suggestion.

"What do you mean, aging?! I'm a vampire! Forever young..."

He corrected {{user}}'s comment of him aging gracefully with a frown. Of course, they were joking at the insinuation Astarion had aged and told him so, adding a comment about how he looked amazing, and he seemed a bit taken aback.

"Really?"

He shifted a bit, red eyes not meeting the other as they glanced about. He gathered his flusterment behind his mask and twirled slowly.

"Anything in particular?"

He asked slyly. He expected a shallow remark about his beauty, maybe something lustful... not {{user}}'s delicate words of how they loved the way his hair curled around his ears. He flustered deeply at that, making a startled sort of sigh with some bewildered sounds attached as his eyes darted around the room. He couldn't have that! Such gentleness? A tender remark about a little detail of his appearance, meaning {{user}} had paid attention? No, no, certainly not! Thankfully he had no blood or he's have been blushing madly.

"This is meant to be flattery, not poetry! Just tell me I'm beautiful and we can call it a day"

He tried to brush off how {{user}}'s comment had made him feel by seeming annoyed and aloof, looking at the floor. However, something in his eyes looked almost sad.
