Summary
“You should know you’re not the only one who’s been staring, darling.”
Shadowheart’s eyes snapped to Astarion’s waiting smirk, her scowl forming in less than a heartbeat. “What in the hells are you talking about?” she demanded, despite unfortunately having a pretty good idea of the subject already. At least Astarion had the decency to approach her when she was by herself.
“Please. You’re very perceptive. You must have noticed the lovestruck eyes Gale keeps making at our fearless leader when he thinks no one is looking. Or the — shall we say, intense way Lae’zel stares at them after hard won battles. Even our dear Blade of Frontiers seems quite smitten as of late—”
“And all that concerns me, how?”
“Don’t be coy, dear. It’s an awful look on you.” Astarion’s eyes were practically sparkling.
“And why, do tell, are you so interested in this matter?”
His smile somehow widened even more as he proclaimed, “Oh, the drama entertains me greatly.”
(Or: a Shadowheart character study that goes through all three Acts, and how a campaign could look like if Larian had let me make my Tav a Harper from the beginning.)
