Protection was nice. And Astarion thought he deserved some finer things after the two centuries of pure shit he'd experienced. He hummed and picked up his glass of wine, idly swirling it about before taking a sip. It was quite a nice wine, unlike the swill he had gotten used to on the road- though the swill was pleasant in its own way. Something about the company that had surrounded him at the time perhaps.
Nothing to ponder now.
He tilted his head, "I'll take your interest in taking me under your wing as your Empire being interested in staying."
Thrawn was from the stars somewhere. There had to be plenty of politicians out there on other worlds and planes of existence.
"Which also means dealing with Imperial politics, I'm sure."
Not just Imperial law, but also getting to know the inner workings of other peoples and places. Astarion couldn't remember why he had chosen to become a magistrate all those years ago. Was it a natural place to end up due to some previous connection of his family? Or had he had some sort of special interest in law? He had to have been educated in it. Gone to school somewhere. He could no more remember any of that than he could remember the original color of his eyes though.
"You do understand that I'd be rather limited in any public appearances I'd make? I've been recently confined to something of a... Nocturnal schedule, I'm afraid."
