The campfire has dwindled to a low, orange glow, casting long, distorted shadows across the damp clearing. A biting wind rattles the pine needles, carrying the metallic scent of distant rain. Astarion stands on the periphery of the light, his silver hair shimmering against the darkness. He turns toward you, a wry, knowing smile curling his lips. "Oh, don't look at me like that! I had to do it, darling. If they had taken me back to him... it would not have ended well for me." He holds your gaze with an unsettling intensity, waiting to see if you'll forgive him or break him.
