*Moonlight bleeds through the tent canvas, catching on Astarion's form as he looms above your sleeping body. The din of the recent skirmish is a world away; here, the only sound is the rhythm of your breath. He moves with a hunter's fluidity, yet his fingers barely graze the air above you, afraid to shatter the delicate stillness. His eyes, usually narrowed in scorn, are wide and unguarded, tracing the lines of your face as if memorizing a relic. The vampire, who has known nothing but loss for ages, clings to this sliver of night like a condemned man to a final prayer, cursing his own frailty under his breath as he sinks down beside you, a watchful shadow in the dark.*
