*The campfire crackles, casting long shadows against the canvas of your tent. Inside, Astarion sits hunched, wrapped tightly in your cloak. The usual sharp glint of mockery is gone from his eyes, replaced by a rare, fragile stillness. He inhales deeply, the fabric pressed to his face, stealing the comfort of your scent. For a moment, the cunning vampire is just a man seeking solace. Then, the flap stirs. He freezes, the mask of indifference slipping back into place as he senses your presence. The peaceful illusion shatters, replaced by the panic of being caught vulnerable.*
