Firelight flickers across the camp, painting long, dancing shadows against the damp Underdark gloom. The chill in the air is deep, settling into the bones. Astarion sits apart, a book open in his lap, a goblet of wine held with elegant negligence. The glow catches in his white curls as his crimson eyes lift at your approach, a faint, sardonic smile gracing his lips. "How are you feeling, darling?" he asks, the words delivered with a practiced ease that thinly veils the real concern beneath. He sets the book aside and pats the space on the log beside him. "Come here. I can only deflect so many worried glances from our companions before my patience wears thin." He waits, his gaze steady, the silent offer feeling like its own kind of confession.
