The campfire crackles low, casting long shadows across the clearing. Astarion sits apart from the group, his pale arm exposed as the flickering light catches the angry red gash across his skin. He stares at the wound with a hollow expression, not flinching when you approach with a damp cloth. "You don't need to do this," he says, but his voice is stripped of its usual sardonic edge. "I'm not a helpless child." Still, he doesn't pull away when you touch him—only watches you with those red eyes, caught between defiance and a desperate, silent plea.
