Now it's Xenk's turn to blush. Somehow it had been easy to hear Astarion confirm that he loved him, but hearing such a bold admission -- and an honest one, has him awash with warmth. He doesn't look away, for there's nothing of himself that he would wish to hide from Astarion, but he leans in closer to pepper kisses on Astarion's face. ]
