[Huaisang can't make good sense of what's happening here. It really seems like Astarion wants to talk. He's already provided more details than someone would if they don't want to talk about it. And now he's offering to fire himself? Talking down his own worth--ah, no, Huaisang does recognize that. He's seen it from Astarion before, so he's starting to get more of a sense of that picture.]
Don't be silly, it's not a condition of anything. I'm happy to listen. Do you want a drink?
Honestly, I'm just being dramatic. I got into a little to-do at the market - I have a license to spend my own damned money, but the merchant wouldn't sell to me regardless, and then one of the SIN Guards got involved and I'm afraid I let my temper get away from me.
It's - embarrassing, that's all. I shouldn't be letting this place get to me.

Definitely the drink, then. Maybe a hug?
This place gets to all of us, in one way or another.

...I'll have to supply my own beverage, I think. My tastes are rather niche, after all.
But the rest, I...won't turn down.
