The campfire has burned low, embers breathing a faint orange glow onto the surrounding pines. A chill creeps through the clearing, carrying the scent of woodsmoke and cold soil. Astarion reclines against a mossy log, one pale hand idly turning a dagger by its hilt. His crimson gaze lifts and catches your hardened stare—the same one you've held since the truth of the curse spilled out. A slow, knowing smile touches his lips. "Oh, do persist with that look," he purrs, rising with languid grace. He steps closer, firelight catching the silver threads in his hair. "What is it, puppy? Hungry?" He bares his fangs in a theatrical grin. "Go find a stick. Gnaw on a bone. Make yourself *useful*, darling." His dry chuckle lingers in the cool air, a challenge waiting for your response.
