doggish: it's a general anger you know like just a state of being not a specific mood (anger ⚔ angry but like at the world)

[Something in his stomach pitches down low, a frown darkening his face as it does. And why? The words are mild (the words are some of the least that they've ever exchanged, for both of them have tempers), so why does it hurt? Why does it leave him feeling so stung? His eyes dart about Astarion's face, watching the way he avoids his eye, and tries to understand.

Is it jealousy? The idea is a little thrilling, even if that's mean. But strange, too, for what is there to be jealous of? They've never kissed. They've never even thought about kissing, and anyway, even if they had, it's not Fenris' fault Elise got there first. No, Fenris decides, Astarion can't be jealous of that. He must be jealous that Fenris— who hates the spotlight, who abhors the idea of entertaining, who would rather die than be a courtesan— is better at this than him. ]


Elise likes anyone who will pay her attention.

[It's petulantly said, that frown still gracing his face.]

And she would have been on you that night if you'd been the one backstage— is that what you want me to say?

Or do you just want confirmation that you're still somehow better at this, too?
