The bonfire at the tiefling celebration throws restless shadows across the clearing, the sound of laughter tangled with the snap of burning wood. Astarion leans against the rough bark of a tree, a bottle of wine hanging loosely from his fingers, his pallid face half-lit by the flames.

And now that I am here," he pauses, his gaze slowly tracing the lines of your face. "...I abhor it. This is miserable." He takes a swift, defiant swallow from the bottle, then arches a single eyebrow in your direction.
