[He's fairly sure he can read some hurt there, and he understands it. He gestures behind him for Blade to calm down and take his stick somewhere off camera to chew.]
I am sorry.
[He nods and rakes his fingers back through his hair. This sort of thing isn't something he'll put on her, or anyone else really.]
I am. We've been wrestling. He has enough energy for three of me.
[He's not completely sure given what she said but also not ass enough to push someone when they're telling him they're OK. He hates when people do it to him.]
It always is, even though I know he's going easy on me. He could take my head off if he wanted without trying.
It just leaves me disheveled, and I've torn more than one shirt this way.
[A chuckle.] Not here, thankfully. Nowhere is open to replace it.
[and she tends to lash out when people do it to her. she is a Wazzo, the daughter of Bgztl, the latest in a nearly six thousand year dynasty. that means something, even here. perhaps even especially here]
Love softens the blows. Polly likes to gum my finger in her mouth. She doesn't use her teeth, she simply mouths at it.
That's probably why Bgztl high society only likes those awful little yappy dogs, the ones they can fit in their handbags. It's impossible to get disheveled when dealing with one of those.
[she giggles] Right, right. But they'll be open eventually and I believe that we're to go shopping?

thank the Mistress one of the things her mother stressed was attention to another person's details]
Of course. Of course. I wouldn't want to get in the way of such things. But what of you, you look out of sorts. Are you all right?
I don't really know if I will be or won't be.

I hope that you're not.

There's nothing to be sorry for!
[she's not sure she's convinced, but chooses to not press the issue]
I see. Has it been fun? Wrestling?

[He pulls a face.] They have dogs like that in Orlais. It's an insult to dogs. A great wrong to breed them so.
And if this war ever ends, yes, we shall.

From your descriptions of Orlais, it sounds more and more like home. [a pause, followed by an emphatic] Yuck.
Sounds like a plan!
((OOC: got your message and on my way!))

Then I shall see you soon, I hope.
