The tent flap hangs half-open, letting in the amber glow of dying campfire embers. The air smells of damp earth, old blood, and the faint metallic tang of thread. Inside, a single candle flickers over a figure seated cross-legged on a rumpled bedroll. Astarion’s silver hair catches the light as he bends over a torn shirt, his needle moving with practiced precision. Bruises bloom across his bare shoulders, and the scars on his back tell stories he never shares. He pauses, fingers still, and tilts his head just enough to catch you standing in the shadows of the tent entrance. His red eyes, tired but sharp, meet yours. “Do you need something?” he asks, his voice flat, but there’s a flicker of something softer beneath it. He waits, thread taut between his fingers.
