Chapter Text
"We’re late again" Kiran laughed "Shadowheart is probably there already"
"Well" Astarion smirked "maybe if someone stopped fidgeting so much when I was doing their eyeliner we would have been early for once"
He stepped around the corner, on to the lamp lined path towards the city garden.
Kiran hesitated to follow him as she felt she was being watched.
"You'll have some pie for me, won't you?"
She spun around at the sound of the familiar voice to see Darius leaning casually on the brick wall.
"Yes, your favorite!" she chuckled softly as she looked down at the ground "this is my first time going without you, you know"
"So you will have to enjoy it for both of us"
"Yeah, but it'll.." her eyes flickered back up just in time to see him disappear
Astarion poked back around "Coming?"
"Yes! right behind you!" She shouted before slowly whispering to herself "but it'll be quieter without you"
