Summary
Astarion tries to wrap his head around you, when a sudden tumult in camp occurs.
It should have been nothing more than an insurance. A simple transaction, so to speak: His honeyed words for your protection. Performing an act, yourself delightfully unaware of your leading role in this little play of his.
Well, and what else could it ever be? After all, manipulating others in order to get something out of them was the only way he had ever known.
And yet: with you, things had somewhat felt entirely different.

It has been a very long time since Astarion has cared for another living soul outside of his own. What good would it have done him, in the face of Cazador?
But then he finally tasted freedom again—and then there was Tav.

“No, you can’t die – get up, damn you!”
For a moment he tries to tell himself that it’s their tadpoles that make him feel that same fear, but he knows better; knows it’s because it’s Tav, and she can’t just go and die on him, not when he is starting to–

Summary
She lay still and quiet.
“Really, darling,” he said, forcing a cavalier tone, falling flat though at least no one was here to witness. “This is terribly selfish of you. You go and set my heart into such a tizzy only to fall into a sleep-like death.” He sank to his knees beside her, listening to the howls of this cursed land, the crackling of the fires. “Terribly selfish,” he chided.
“Yes, Fangs,” he could imagine her saying, hands on her hips, the picture of indignation, “because this was all my grand plan. To take a fucking nap.”
