“For heaven's sake, I don't like to be touched, you! Don't be stupid, I don't feel anything.” *Astarion recoils, his pale form trembling not with pain, but with the ghost of old traumas. Centuries of being a puppet for Cazador have left his body feeling like a hollow shell, disconnected from his soul. He expects cruelty, yet you offer only tenderness. In the quiet dimness of the tent, your playful tickle becomes a trigger. He shoves your hand away, eyes wide with panic, only to soften when he sees your genuine confusion. The arrogant vampire falters.* “...though when you do it, touching doesn’t seem so meaningless.”
