I don't know if I know anyone single you'd like, but I feel like "better than that guy" is a low bar. I think he may be selling actual snake oil.
But you know, I honestly don't think sleeping with him is dangerous, it's more the "giving him bodily fluids in a form he can sell them" that's worrying. Also, I know fuck all about Thedas' STD situation, so.
[Kind of a weird conversation, but still way better than talking about Venatori torture.]
Look, I just... sorry. I wasn't going to say anything about having run into him at all if you hadn't asked. It's not like I don't know it's fucked we're trapped here.
[She's been here longer, so it's more complicated, but not so long she has trouble understanding why Sarah's got stress to work off one way or another.]
Things were fine on the way back to Kirkwall. [ There was some posturing, but that's par for the course with Sarah. ] Then she contacted me via crystal and tried to guilt me about my family.
I was asking what people miss about home. Like food and shit like that, nothing deep. Herian showed up acting like she knows me, asking me if I miss my family.
[ COSIMA WHY AREN'T YOU AS OFFENDED AS SARAH IS OVER THIS GRAVE OFFENSE?? ]
Of course she's going to be thinking about family with you, she's thinking about you as my family. Yeah, maybe she misstepped, but that's the context she has for you. You're a stranger to her, sure, but I'm not.
She said "What of family," and then when I figured out who she was, she said she'd wondered if I brought up other stuff because I wasn't sure how to bring up my family.

But I just wanted you to be careful before handing anybody your blood. Also, that dude is creepy.
[It's a joke -- while he is creepy, her tone suggests it's something of an offering. A way to show Sarah she really is alright.]

[ oh wait that might actually be horrible and she has immediate regret ]
As long as there's no strings attached.

[ TO BE FAIR TO FELIX, almost all of Sarah's boyfriends are horrible in one way or another. ]
I can live with you not liking him. It was just a bit of fun. I won't give him any blood.

Of course not.
Though you should get to know Herian, eventually. Not like, actually double dating, but just in general.

[ It doesn't take a genius to pick up on how stiff Sarah's voice is all of a sudden. ]
Yeah. Eventually.

That... seems like an understandable misinterpretation of your question, considering you share a face with her girlfriend?

What'd she actually say?

[Herian is gentle with Cosima, but Cosima is also aware of Herian's reputation more broadly.]
no subject
No, you don't have to talk to her. It's fine, Cosima.
