    Summary

    "It's over. I'm done with it," Astarion's voice was a broken whisper, barely audible over his sobs. He was speaking to himself, affirming the end of a chapter steeped in torment. The sight was heartbreaking. Sad. He knelt there for a moment, as if trying to believe what had happened.

    Then, rising from the ground and lifting his bloodshot eyes to meet Tav's, his expression twisted into something bitter and cold. "And I'm done with you," he spat out venomously.

    Tav's step faltered, her hand still suspended in the air. Confusion and hurt welled up inside her. "What?" she stammered, her mind racing to make sense of his words. He was in shock, surely. The trauma, the bloodshed, it had to be too much.

    But Astarion's voice cut through her thoughts, icy and trembling with a raw edge of emotion she had never heard before. "I would say good luck out there, but honestly?" His gaze was piercing, unyielding. "I hope you die." The words slithered out like a curse, each syllable dripping with a venom that chilled her to the bone.

    Astarion narrowed his eyes, leaned towards her and whispered ominously, only to her. “Screaming.”

    Summary


    Tavya watched Astarion's eyes scan the name written across the front. Once, twice, three times. Then he looked to her, nearly stunned into silence. “I— What is this?”

    She gently tugged the envelope from his grasp. “I wrote to them. Your family. Or, well, your parents, anyway," Tavya stuttered. "I searched and searched and I finally found names and an address, but it’s been so long since I've written… I didn’t think…”

    “You… found them?” he asked numbly.

    “I… I think so.”

    Summary

    She wraps her arms around him and lets him complete his checks, and when he pulls back to look into her face, she’s giving him the smile she reserves only for when she’s about to say something completely saccharine and embarrassing.

    “Whatever you’re thinking darling, don’t say it.”

    “You are so unbearably sweet sometimes.”

    If Astarion could blush, he would. Since he can’t, he puts on his most pompous and condescending look and stares down his nose at her in clear disdain.

    “You, my love, are brain-damaged.”
