   Summary

   Somehow, implausibly, the group invites Astarion to join them.

   Or rather, the drow invites him. Runs her thumb through her own fresh blood and licks her finger clean before explaining about the ship, the crash, her mind ringing out, scraping into his own.

   And he accepts. It’s a stupid thing to do. He tried to cut her throat, and no one is that forgiving. She must have other motives, other plans — but he’s standing in the sunlight in the middle of nowhere, and…

   It’s a stupid thing to offer. A stupid thing to accept.

   He does anyway.
