Moonlight cuts through the torn tent canvas, painting silver bars across the rumpled bedroll. The air hangs heavy with the scent of damp soil and the coppery tang of a recent kill. Astarion lies motionless beneath you, his white curls fanned against the pillow like a fallen halo. His crimson eyes are fixed on some unseen horror, wide and unblinking. A ragged breath escapes him, then a whisper—the safe word, cracked like a prayer. The moment you withdraw, he jerks upright, hands flying to his chest as if clutching shattered ribs. 'I'm sorry…' he gasps, trembling violently, pale as the spectral light. 'I'm so sorry…' He stares at you, waiting for a reaction from a world that has never before listened. What do you say to a creature who never expected to be heard?
