@limpfisted asked: who died and made you king? still accepting
❝ 𝚀𝚄𝙸𝚃𝙴 𝙰 𝙻𝙾𝚃 𝙾𝙵 𝙿𝙴𝙾𝙿𝙻𝙴, 𝙰𝙲𝚃𝚄𝙰𝙻𝙻𝚈. ❞ The casually cruel smile is momentarily concealed by a healthy sip of blood wine, crimson stained teeth peeking through pale lips at his one-time traveling companion. The years since the defeat of the absolute had been incredibly kind to the former vampire spawn, his power and influence spreading farther and faster than either Cazador or Gortash could have dreamed of. Now Ascendent, Astarion was just as likely to be seen in shady backrooms of Lower City taverns brokering illicit deals as he was here, at balls attended by Baldur’s Gate’s high society and crafting political policy.
Turning with a cocked head, calculating carmine eyes traced Wyll’s form with little regard for subtlety. The elf had had little use for 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒆𝒔 since he had been turned, even if he had been dragged kicking and screaming into being hero adjacent because of Tav, and he had less use for them now. Morals were such pesky things, anyway, always getting in the way of the things one wants.
❝ Surely running around the wilds of the Sword Coast have not addled your brains that much, Wyll. You were there to watch me kill a fair few of them. But back to the point — lots of things have changed in Baldur’s Gate. Has your father not been keeping you up to date on the politics in the city? Shame, that. ❞

𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚃𝙰𝚂𝚃𝙴 𝙾𝙵 𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚁𝙾𝚁 𝙸𝚂 𝙳𝙸𝚂𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙲𝚃𝙸𝚅𝙴. It was a sharp, acrid tang on his tongue, only to wrap it’s clammy arms around him like an old friend [ he barely flinches these days ]. Reithwin was a foul, rotted carapace of a town with its few remaining residents resembling their surroundings though the House of Healing was the worst of the buildings left standing, turning even his hardened stomach. Everything smelled of blood long since gone putrid and rotted flesh and the so-called surgeon was easily one of the most unnerving beings he had ever encountered, with scalpels for fingers and a troupe of assistants that sliced into him with just a clever word.
The Shadowlands had been trying the frayed nerves of their group, but this had been one of the easier encounters to get through. But not for them and Astarion decided that he didn’t like the way terror tasted, when it was coming from Anais.
❝ Darling, I’m offended that you think I wouldn’t. ❞ He gifts her a carefully crafted, crooked grin that didn’t quite meet the cerise eyes that scanned their face. The rapid flutter of the pulse in their neck, the faint tremor that worked its way through their body, the haunted look, coupled with the attempt at deflection . . . The pale elf had had enough of his own moments that he could recognize them in others and there were only two real options here — comfort followed by support or distraction with the promise of shiny baubles.
And he knew what he was most comfortable with.
❝ There’s some chests upstairs and I’m fresh out of lockpicks. ❞ A lie, but one that couldn’t hurt anyone. ❝ C’mon, some priceless magical artefacts will make you feel better, seeing as Gale doesn’t need to eat them anymore. ❞
“ you’re shaking like a leaf—what’s wrong? ” ↳ @sanguinir — memes / accepting!
"i'm fine," comes the lie, automatic and unconvincing. they are most certainly not fine, and it shows in how their body trembles, how they lean so heavily against the wall outside the so-called house of healing. anais presses the heels of their hands over their eyes and tries to breathe, but each inhale seems shorter and sharper than the last. she can feel the tadpole writhing in her head, delighted at the overwhelming force of what she's feeling. it wants to reach out. needs to reach out. and she is in no state to close her mind.
so it comes in flashes: you are strapped to a table in a little room with a low, low ceiling; there is a single window, brown with grime and papered over to keep out the light; you hear the sound of boots on stone as someone circles you, slowly; see the blade of a knife passing through a candle's flame while you can only wait, and watch, and wonder what he will use it for this time—
"FUCK!" the word tears out of their throat and burns through the fog of memory. the tadpole, apparently satisfied, settles back into its usual slumber. anais exhales unsteadily, lifting their head to realize they had, at some point, slid down the wall to rest in the dirt. they hastily stand, avoiding the vampire's eyes and glancing back the way they'd come, instead. where she knows the undead nurses wander harmlessly around the mutilated corpse of malus thorm. "did anyone check the fucker's pockets before we left?" it's another sign against her, that she was too eager to leave to have done so herself.

@fatewoven & Gortash asked : "you know i could have helped with that" empathetic starters - no longer accepting
𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙻𝙰𝚄𝙶𝙷𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝚃𝙷𝙰𝚃 𝙴𝚁𝚄𝙿𝚃𝙴𝙳 𝙵𝚁𝙾𝙼 𝙷𝙸𝙼 𝚆𝙰𝚂 𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙳 𝙰𝙽𝙳 𝙷𝚈𝚂𝚃𝙴𝚁𝙸𝙲𝙰𝙻, gasping for air that his lungs didn’t need and bloody tears threatening to spill. There was no mirth to be heard, no joy warming the sharp, immortal lines of the pale elf’s face.
Astarion had to be exceptionally clever to have been appointed a magistrate in his thirties — clever with words, clever with contracts, clever with people. Cazador had not always given the most thorough of instructions on the little hunts he sent his spawn on and the former magistrate had exploited the loopholes ruthlessly, hunting for a way to sever his master’s control over him for at least one hundred fifty years with no success. At least, until the tadpole had set him on the path to Ascension.
The prospect of this ambitious and manipulative, yet otherwise unremarkable, human man could save him was beyond moronic. Enver Gortash was a great many things, but a philanthropist and humanitarian? A person who did things out of the goodness of his heart? A person who would expend his resources for a spawn who had nothing to offer outside of paltry gossip of the goings on in his master’s house?
No, this was the platitudes of a political animal sorting out whether or not it was still the top of the food chain or if it had finally been reduced to prey. Astarion didn’t need to blink the scarlet film of his tears from his eyes to see what was happening. Gortash, perhaps feeling off-balance for once, possibly even feeling the tiniest bit of fear in the face of a recently evolved apex predator. Jockeying for favor like he was still a neophyte to the political landscape of Baldur’s Gate and not the man that had manipulated his meteoric rise from the gutter to the annals of power.
❝ If I didn’t know better, I would think you’re auditioning to be my court jester, Gortash. I do think you’d look rather charming with those shoes with the stupid bells at the toes to match the garish outfit . . . Perhaps I should order some delivered so you can dance for me, as an apology for that poor attempt at empathy. ❞ Leaning in with burning scarlet eyes and fanged mouth pulled into feral mimicry of a smile, the ascended vampire issued his threat. ❝ You survived playing games with me then, but you 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒐𝒕 survive those same games now. Have I made myself clear? ❞
