Summary
Large, freezing fingers take hold of his hair and wrench him up, up onto trembling knees as it snarls, there, close enough to rip his throat open with its maw of borrowed teeth.
"Do not think I am not tempted, Victor!" There is no heat to its breath, as it bellows its contempt not an inch from his face. Only moisture, and rushing air, expelled to defile his name. "To bleed you. To humble you."
--
"You have denied me death, I deny you in kind. You must live, Victor."
He hates the sound of his name in its mouth. Hates it. Had only it died as intended, that he would never suffer the sound again.
"For if you will not grant me a companion, I will take you as one."

Summary
Astarion has never seen the scars carved into his back. His new "something", Tav, volunteers to transcribe it onto parchment: a long and arduous process, taken over the course of several days. Relatively unused to the concept of 'people doing favors for him', Astarion struggles with the intimacy of it all.

Summary
To Astarion's apprehension, Tav shuts off immediately when the truth of the Gur children is revealed. Just as they've entered Baldur's Gate, just as Astarion is so close to freedom, just as Astarion is in the greatest danger - he frets that Tav will send him away. Astarion searches for Tav, desperate to manipulate, beguile, or threaten his way into staying with the team.
