There are some things I can bring up should he persist.
[ This is...strange. Familiar and entirely foreign- it'd been he between the two before and it hadn't been quite so comfortable but-
He pushes the memory from his head, catching Cyril's chin to make him stop with the kissing. He doesn't wish to blush just yet but- the affection is sweet. ]
In the mean time frightening him by spending my nights in more agreeable company feels appropriate.
[ Cyril hadn't been there and Taas hadn't seen the cell but- deep inside the stronghold? It had been cold. A chill lingers still in his bones and here, curled close like this? He can forget it for a short while. ]
Truly, I am spoilt for sharing my bed with anyone else. Not even Alistair throws off this much heat.
He's being accurate. You're one of the hottest men here, and I'm not too bad myself. [He focuses on that last part, smirking a bit, because he doesn't want Zevran to feel pressured into bragging like he used to. The whole point is that he doesn't want Zevran to feel pressured to do anything.]
I'm surprised this bedroll doesn't burst into flames from all of the hotness here.
That you have good taste. [Taas parrots, since he couldn't see Cyril's lips with his eyes closed like that.
He opens them again a moment later and finds himself looking at the two elves with a content smile. It was almost like being back at his tamassran, lying in a pile with his friends for cuddles and support. Just... more adult and somehow stronger.
Affection was a good word. Safe. You could feel that for both friends and lovers.]
[Cyril is quiet for a moment and then he reaches out and runs a hand over Zevran's shoulder. He isn't sure what else to do but offer that physical reassurance. Zevran is good enough for this moment, but arguing that just seems to be stress they don't need.]
[ For a long moment, he's quiet. He could protest that no, he is not safe, they took him from the courtyard while he wasn't paying attention like a fool but-
Curled close like this, with Cyril's hand on him, with Taas' arm around him. He does have a small scrap of that back. Here he is safe. For now. He leans up enough to press a kiss to Taas' shoulder, tugs up Cyril's hand to do the same to his palm. This he can bear. ]
[Cyril sighs a bit, releasing some tension he hadn't realized was really there. At least Zevran had accepted the point that Taas had made and wasn't trying to fight against it.
Then, after a moment, he makes sure he's angled in a way that Taas can read his lips.]

[Cyril settles back against Taas and watches them both.]
I do try to be agreeable....

[He says this to Taas and pats his chest very lightly.]
You're like our very own campfire.

It's my favorite skill, especially when it comes with perks like two hot guys in my bed.

[ Still it's hard to swallow the usual knot of self loathing and disgust while curled so close. It's easier to hear that than it is to hear 'kadan'. ]

Mm. We should keep a bucket of water around... some iced drinks.

[ He writes it out against Taas' ribs, as his eyes were closed. ]
And yet I am terribly fond of both of you. What does that say about me?

[ This, too, he writes out against Taas' skin with some trepidation- admitting such things is not what he does but-
What he does isn't helping. It did not save him before, to be distant. ]

You deserve to be safe. Right here, in this shitty room and on this slightly lumpy bedroll? It's safe.
It's just us. Everything else can wait.

This room isn't that shitty.
