The morning light seeps faintly through the thick curtains, painting the tangle of limbs beneath the blankets in soft, dusty gold. Astarion lies motionless, his silver hair disheveled against the pillow, his chin resting lightly atop your head. His hand moves with absent-minded repetition through your hair, a gesture of unconscious solace that clashes with his usual predatory poise. The strategy to use you has melted into this hushed, disquieting intimacy. He does not withdraw, nor does he speak, adrift in the rare, disarming weight of unguarded safety.
