    Summary

    “I—" Astarion looks taken aback, his anger temporarily fizzling out. She feels him review the interaction, their tadpole link still active: how she’d pleaded with him to stay his hand, and how he’d done it.

    Kira relaxes. They’re getting somewhere.

    Astarion grabs a fistful of her robes and hauls her closer, the full brunt of his terror and rage slamming back into the front of her mind. He demands, snarling, “Why didn’t you let me kill him? What have you done to me?”
    --
    Kira was a druid, before the parasite sucked all her earth magic out of her skull and left her with nothing but the burning sorcery that exploded out of her in childhood-- Kira used to be a lot of things, before her illness and her abduction by mind flayers.

    Now, she's a leader searching for a cure and struggling to keep peace in their camp. It might be easier if Astarion would stop tugging at her tail.
