make me make me impressed

[deshabille]

Who: CAPRINE CREW ASSEMBLE
Broadcast: None!
Action: Caprine & visitors!
When: After this shuffle!

[Well, all things considered, the Caprine isn't the biggest shitshow of a ship in the Fleet. Right now. At this particular moment. There are worse places to end up!]

[At least that's what the crew will tell you, Varric. Except possibly Nightingale, who tries to keep it real.]

[IT'S A MINGLE, EVERYBODY INSIDE.]

I'll let you know when that happens. [Which means it will never be. Gasp, Cassandra knows how to play around!!!] But I...am impressed.

[deshabille]

[Oh. Well. Impressed. That's a start. Her mouth fixes in a crooked grin.]

I could impress you more, if you wanted me to.

[openhands]

And how would you attempt to do that?

[Attempt. Cassandra may be goading her just a little.]

[deshabille]

Hm, I don't know. I think if I told you what I was going to do, it wouldn't be as impressive when I did it. Surprise is a part of romance, isn't it?

[Look, she has been doing her research, okay.]

[openhands]

And when did you become an expert in romance?

[Skeptical Seeker is skeptical!!!]

[deshabille]

I didn't say I was an expert.

[Here's hoping her exasperation slightly covers her uncertainty. Since when does Mal not claim to be an expert in everything?]

I just pay attention, that's all.

[openhands]

I wouldn't have expected you to pay that much attention. [A beat.] But it's a pleasant surprise.
