By the place where I live falling apart, or your hand in it?
[It's a bit of a wry answer as he catches Astarion's eye deliberately, but he adds:]
If it is the former, no. I cannot say it is ideal, but this was Danarius' manor, and I have spite enough even now to watch it fall apart. And, lever aside, I have carved out a place for myself in here that is comfortable.
[But still, admittedly, dilapidated. A hole in the ceiling does not a skylight make, no matter that Fenris enjoys the view. And while that's a very nice explanation, it falters a little when one looks around and notices all the cracked tiles and dusty shelves . . . what's the difference between letting something rot out of spite and being too miserable to take the time to care for it?]
As for the latter . . . break what you please, so long as it is not my sword or my personal gear. But the mansion itself I care little for.
