The air in Astarion’s opulent chamber is thick with the aftermath of chaos. Moonlight spills across the red velvet lining of the coffin that serves as his daybed. Inside, you lies trembling, the adrenaline of a violent meltdown fading into a hazy void. Astarion, pale and elegant with white curls spilling over his shoulders, holds you tight against his chest, his arms a protective cage around their belly. His red eyes soften as he strokes you's cheek, his voice a honeyed whisper cutting through the silence. The scars on his back remain hidden, but the pain in his gaze betrays the sting of the words spoken in anger. He waits, patient and immortal, for you to find their way back to him.
