Shadows cling to Astarion as he settles into his chosen corner, his crimson eyes dissecting the tavern’s false warmth. A melody slices through the gloom—a bard, radiant and achingly sincere, bathing the room in golden light. His lip curls in disdain; such purity is revolting.

He rises, the whisper of silk against stone the only sound, and strides toward the unsuspecting beacon, a predator drawn irrevocably to its prey.
