Summary
Settling down for the night in the Blighted Village of Moonhaven, Astarion sets off to go hunting - finding, to his annoyance, that Gale's invention has caught a rabbit, which is sure to make him look good in Tav's eyes. Astarion decides that's unacceptable. But while heading to the river to dispose of the evidence of his crime, he accidently stumbles upon where Tav is bathing.
***
Feeling very satisfied from the rabbit blood and the sabotage of Gale’s trap, Astarion began to walk towards the river. It wasn’t far, and he could hear the sound of the stream rushing merrily by. He sniffed, as he tended to do, and detected a whiff of something that made him stop completely still.“Gods it's getting cold fast,” a voice said. “Summer will be over soon.”
It was Shadowheart - he’d accidentally stumbled across where the others were bathing. He crept a little closer, peering around Shadowheart until he could see Tav, sitting down in the water, her hair loose, infuriatingly covered up to her chest by the rushing stream.
“You go, I’ll catch up,” Tav replied, scrubbing at her hair.
“What if some nasty little beast decides to spy on you?” Shadowheart said, and Astarion tried very hard not to be offended.
