    Summary

    "I said you didn't need to cry...." Shadowheart, of course, she thinks it was an act, one of your many inappropriate little jokes.
    You're an excellent bullshitter, after all.

    "Right-" a strained laugh. You wipe the wetness from your cheek.

    "I thought a worshipper of Shar would enjoy the show." The lie rolls from your tongue as easily as the tears flow down your cheeks.
    -

    The Dark Urge suffers from post traumatic stress episodes and she refuses to acknowledge it. Astarion notices, of course he does.

    Summary

    “You grant the semblance of life and intelligence to a corpse of your choice within range, allowing it to answer up to 5 questions you pose. Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive. “

    You are as likely to open wounds as you are to close them.

    The night after the assassination of Evner Gortash, the Dark Urge takes to Wyrm's rock with five questions. This story is about what they ask. This story is about what Gortash's corpse answered.

    And this story is about the five memories behind those answers that the corpse of Enver Gortash cannot speak to.

    Summary

    “I got the elvish at my collar translated,” Blackheart answered with a smile, “Shadowheart told me it means Starlight.”

    Astarion opened his mouth, but then he turned to Shadowheart. Who looked away at that, “I take it that she did not actually read it to you then?”

    “No,” Blackheart frowned, “Is it not just what it means?”

    “Elvish is a language,” Astarion spoke slowly as if speaking to a dumb child. Blackheart couldn’t take offense at that, “Those symbols make up a word.”

    “Oh,” Blackheart frowned, and then he squinted at Astarion, “Um - Isn’t Starlight a word?”

    “Good gods above, you’re a dimwit,” Astarion hissed before storming away.

    Blackheart turned to Shadowheart, to Gale, “What did I say?”

    “It reads Astarion,” Gale whispered, “It’s his name.”

    Well, That didn’t make any sense.
