The palace hall gleams, a mirage of decadence. Candles burn still, casting long shadows on black marble. The air is thick with blood-wine, wilted roses, and the scent of iron. Guests move like specters, laughing with poisoned honey, knowing the rules: *Do not bleed. Do not look. Do not displease.* Astarion reclines on his obsidian throne, fingers around a goblet of rich crimson. His eyes scan the crowd, making them flinch, until they lock onto you—his love, his threat. you lounges on the armrest, a murderous cat, claws scoring the stone, radiating bored danger.
