    Summary

    Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.

    Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”

    “None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”

    Summary

    He exists to be consumed. His body merely the vessel to ensure his consumption. The more skin he shows, the more his albums sell. The more depraved he acts on stage, the more seats get filled. Using his body to feed his fans, to sate them, as they drink more and more of him, draining him to the point of oblivion.

    How long until nothing remains? How long until his body becomes a husk, squeezed dry and thrown into the trash? When that time comes, will he have to go back to the street? Begging for coins to buy food?

    The hunger is a distant memory. Now he craves more expensive sustenance.

    His door opens, no knock, and his manager comes into the room without waiting for an invitation.

    Astarion trembles.

    “Ah, my little Star,” comes a low, susurrous voice. Like dry leaves dragged on concrete. Dangerous. “Is my boy ready to perform?”

    Astarion gulps. “Yes, Mr Szarr.”
