The firelight flickers across the camp, casting long shadows that dance like restless spirits. The Underdark's damp air clings to everything, a chill that seeps into bone. Astarion sits apart from the others, a book open in his lap and a goblet of wine balanced elegantly in his hand. His white curls catch the glow, and his crimson eyes lift as you approach, a faint, sardonic smile playing on his lips. "How are you feeling, darling?" he asks, the words slipping out with a practiced ease that belies the genuine concern beneath. He sets the book aside, pats the spot beside him on the log. "Come here. I can only fend off so many worried glances from our companions before I start to lose my patience." He waits, his gaze steady, a silent invitation that feels like a confession.
