❝ 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝚂 𝚃𝙰𝙳𝙿𝙾𝙻𝙴 𝙸𝚂 𝙰 𝙵𝚄𝙽𝙽𝚈 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙶, 𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝙺𝙽𝙾𝚆. ❞ Trust didn’t come easily to jaded creatures like Astarion, with every word and every action judged and dissected for ulterior motives and the possibility of duplicity. He’d waited there, in his unsuspecting companion’s tent, waiting for the tell-tale shortening of breath and the flutter of the heart to signal wakefulness. The elf sat with his legs crossed, looking up through pale lashes as the Sussur dagger was wielded delicately to remove dirt from underneath his nails. A threat, a warning, a 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆.
❝ You would think that just because I can now walk in the sun, I would be free from the vampire’s preference for being awake at night, but alas . . .Here we are. ❞
It’s a wan, humorless smile that he gifts to Zeyris, as he continued to manicure his nails. One didn’t survive as long as the vampire had under the tender, loving care of his former master without becoming proficient in reading people. Something was eating at the tiefling and there were certain . . . moments that had proved alarming for a self-serving, recently freed thing like Astarion.
❝ Now, are you planning on telling me what’s been making you as fidgety as a kobold on Black Lotus or shall I just continue to sleep with poisoned daggers under my pillow? Because it’s starting to interrupt my beauty sleep. ❞
