This is a lie.

(Perhaps. Who can say, with Astarion?)

But it does the job, and drives off the threat. Ellis, straightening and slapping a hand onto Astarion's shoulder, steadies himself there are he watches them go. And then exhales hard, a sound close to a chuckle.

"Well done."

Easy praise. A good bluff is never misplaced, especially when the slide of the brawl had been sliding out of their favor.

His grip flexes on Astarion's shoulder involuntarily as he lifts a hand to his stomach, checking the slash there. Without an immediate threat, Ellis is reminded of injury. Shallow, far from serious. Ellis makes a little dismissive noise over it.
