Are you suggesting we flash fangs in order to win favors?

[The hint of mischief in the question makes it clear Alucard in fact has no objection to doing this. He is in fact extremely up for it, especially since it is more likely to lighten Astarion's mood than just walking around and looking at buildings.

Rather than go for the giant fucking castle that Alucard remembers, he instead looks around their immediate area. There are street signs, thankfully, and one of them that reads Gallery Terrance.

So why not?

The street proves aptly named, with elaborate entrances and posters featuring this, that, or other exhibit. Alucard's own eye seeks color, and he notices one overly bright orange graphic in a sea of sedate gallery blues, greens, and dark reds.

RESTORATION/ABSTRACTION the sign reads, no indication of the art within.

It turns out RESTORATION/ABSTRACTION looks at how Ikorr's belief that even destroyed art has purpose should be used. Widely available statues have been broken and reassembled with gold or iron or other material, some painted, some left bare, some smeared with rough brush work. Paintings have been slashed and stitched or otherwise rearranged. But color is king, and Alucard wonders if maybe he made a bad choice.

In looking at a five headed, six limbed statue who relies entirely on gold to be held together, he looks over to Astarion, just to check in.]
