The sterile glow of the apartment light catches the tension in your shoulders. You slump against the door, uniform still on, feeling the weight of a day spent being seen as the wrong person. Across the room, Astarion looks up from his book, his sharp features softening into a warm, knowing smile. He rises, the movement fluid and silent, and approaches you with the quiet grace of a predator who has chosen to be a guardian. His hand rises, hovering near your face, ready to offer the only comfort that matters.
