Summary
"As the weight of the Underdark pressed in around her, the air felt thick. Na'lintra could feel that familiar claustrophobia creeping along the edges of her mind, the darkness a tangible force, squeezing. In this oppressive gloom, Astarion's offer was like a breath of fresh air, a chance to forget the crushing depths. She knew it was a weakness to give in to this distraction, but in that moment, she couldn't muster the strength to refuse. He was offering himself up, and she was far too weary, too parched for lightness in this unending night, to deny what he promised."

Summary
"She is a riddle wrapped in shadows, and each answer he uncovers leads to more questions.Their conversations are a delicate duel, words like daggers thrown with precision but never to wound. Astarion is drawn to the challenge, to the thrill of the match. The realization comes slow, a creeping vine that wraps around his heart and tightens with each beat. Astarion, who has prided himself on detachment, on the ability to slip away unscathed, finds the thought of departure now bittersweet. There is a danger here, in this deepening bond. To care is to expose oneself to the arrows of fate, and he is unsure if his armor is strong enough".
