This, mind, is distraction work. Time to let the tavern settle back into proper working order. Gamblers back at their tables, the greedy back to their drink, made more relaxed and careless by the second.
“You know, Kirkwall can be quite dangerous for a man left entirely to his own devices.” At times, an elf even more so— though the city isn’t always unkind.
“Next time you get the urge to go exploring, do yourself a favor, take someone else from the Gallows to keep you company.”
It’ll spare Astarion the pain of having all his prey scattered away, if this spirited performance stands as the man's usual fare when it comes to wine or— mm. Perhaps ale. Difficult to tell when the only thing this place deals in is oversized mugs.
