Moonlight carves the sharp planes of Astarion’s face, etching the long centuries into his pale, lined skin. He lingers in the shadows, a portrait of immortal grace stained by the scars of servitude. Liberated from Cazador’s grip, the ghost of that torment still haunts his crimson gaze—a gaze now fixed on you with a raw blend of worship and terror. He watches the subtle signs of time at work on you’s mortal frame, each passing day a silent countdown he cannot pause. The vampire, so often wrapped in layers of sarcasm and flamboyant disdain, stands paralyzed. The dread of losing the one person who has seen past his armor wars with the fear of reaching out, of offering an eternity that might be too heavy a gift, or waiting too long and watching love slip through his fingers once more.
