Summary
She's near tranquil when the door is opened and cold air spills in. She cracks an eye as the intruder closes it behind them.
"I locked that," she says pointedly, voice hoarse from finally having rested for the first time in days.
"And I unlocked it," Astarion replies primly.
He looks…unsure. And she hates that. She hates it so much it shreds at her insides, worsened by the fact that she is the reason he is doubting himself. How many times has he told her that she's the first person he has ever cared for? How many times has he laid himself bare to her to rip him apart or help hold him together, trusting her to be gentle, to keep him whole?
The least she can do now is do as he asked.
"Come with me," she croaks at last, "please. Stay with me whatever happens tomorrow."

He doesn't know if it was deliberate action by Elizia or just pure luck that it's the four of them and Orpheus who make it to the brain stem together. Him, Elizia, Shadowheart, and Lae'zel. The first together at the last.
