    Summary

    “Nothing’s ever that simple, least of all feelings, but you’re allowed to grieve."

    “Grieve? Why in all the hells would I grieve for him? Why would anybody in their right mind grieve for somebody who dragged them from their grave, turned them into this, kept them for two hundred bloody years?”

    Summary

    When Karlach next spoke up, it was with an abnormally small voice Astarion couldn't really associate with the barbarian next to him. "How..." she began, almost as a whisper. "How did you feel. You know, after Cazador died?"

    He wouldn't admit how the question knocked some air out of his lungs. Thankfully, he recovered quickly, as was one of his previously mentioned talents. "Oh, it felt wonderful!" came his answer before he could even reflect on it. "Two hundred years of servitude felt like nothing in comparison."

    She glanced at him, just barely. "Really?" Her voice was hoarse now. Almost... disappointed. "It was just... that easy?"

    Of course it wasn't. Of course he was lying. It came as naturally as breathing to him by now.

    -

    Gortash is dead. Karlach isn’t taking it well. Of all people, Astarion would have thought himself the last person to go for comfort. He deals with it.

    Summary

    Astarion moves his legs just slightly to press against Casmir’s broad shoulder, a teasing point of contact. The tiefling doesn’t shift away.

    But his hands still haven’t moved to tend to Astarion’s wound. “Can I touch you?”

    Astarion stares at them for a few moments, meeting that burning gaze, fanned by thick lashes. People don’t often ask him that—they just do. It didn’t matter whether he wanted them to or not, only that he was a pretty thing they wanted to get their hands on.

    He shakes his head before he can fade away into bad memories, blinking several times. He smirks instead, slipping into flirtation easily, eyes lidded and something like revulsion at himself bubbling in his gut, “As much as you’d like, my dear.”

     

    (Or, Astarion has had his consent revoked for over two centuries. Then he meets Casmir.)
