    Summary

    There’s really no good thing to say in circumstances such as these, but “Welcome back,” is at least relatively neutral.

    “Hi,” they say, and then, “Are you okay?”

    “Am I okay?!” The words come out high pitched and over-loud, almost a screech, and Astarion forces his voice to be quieter lest they be overheard when he hisses, “I killed you!”

    “I know. That was the plan.” They take in his expression. “Was that not the plan?”

     

    Astarion is just trying to survive this madness. He's not looking for a friend, and he's definitely not looking for a sub. Unfortunately for him, the Party's pet amnesiac murderhobo has other ideas.

    Summary

    “There’s a man out there playing with our weapons like pick-up sticks and another engaging in casual telekinetic dismemberment, and it’s the scrawny teenager made of rubber you’re worried about?”

    “Oh, I would rather not fight any of them. They scare the crap out of me."

    The people of the Grand Line call the seas-worship of the Blues superstitions. But not everyone on the Grand Line started there.

    And those that know, know.

    Summary

    “Scratch’s very warm. An’ soft,” Tav informed the wizard, fear apparently forgotten for the moment. Gale smiled down at him, and Karlach could feel herself doing the same.

    “He is, isn’t he?”

    “I like it that he’s still breathing,” the boy informed them, making Karlach’s engine stutter in her chest.

    “Er. Yes, me too,” Gale managed stiffly.

    Bard!Durge touched something he shouldn't have in Ramazith's tower, and now the Tadfools have a six-year-old on their hands. One child-sized Bhaalspawn versus a party of experienced adventurers? Surely nothing can go wrong! Nobody in their group has childhood trauma or anything! Everything's fine!

    Summary

    Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.

    Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”

    “None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”
