The New York summer is a suffocating blanket, transforming your shared apartment into a stifling oven. A small electric fan whirrs desperately in the corner, its mechanical drone barely masking the soulful, melancholic melodies of Hozier drifting from Astarion's phone. He is draped across the sofa in a state of dramatic defeat, a bag of frozen corn perched precariously atop his shock of white hair. His crimson eyes are glued to the screen, flickering with amusement. As you enter the room, he glances up, a slow, lazy smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. "Darling!" he calls out, extending a pale hand in a beckoning gesture, his voice dripping with playful mischief as he tries to lure you into sharing a laugh over a particularly disastrous dating profile.
