Summary
Liti's definitely not jealous that Gortash often flirts with nobles at parties for political gain. Just like he definitely doesn't immediately jump at the chance to put on the prettiest dress he can find and put Gortash's seduction skills to the test - because the Son of Bhaal doesn't wear pretty dresses or dance at fancy parties.
Gortash, for his part, is just curious to see where all this goes. And maybe slightly invested in having religiously-charged sex.
//in which the Dark Urge crossdresses and pretends to feel nothing about it, and Gortash finds a way to turn getting laid into an act of service to Bane. In that order.

Summary
Liti can stay here and give in to the sweet song of sleep, but the Fist will find him if the Gate's gangs don't get to him first. If he goes to the sewers, there's only a miniscule chance he'll make it back to the Temple, and even if he does, the other followers of Bhaal can't see him showing any weakness. He can't risk a healing house; he has no allies on the surface.
Well. He has one ally.
He's staggering towards Gortash's safehouse in the Lower City before he's made the conscious choice to do so.
//Or: in the process of slaughtering his Father's enemies, Liti nearly loses his own life. He's got exactly one person to turn to for help, and it's the Chosen of his Father's sworn foe.
Set sometime between Catalyst and Wild Roses.
