Adventuring has been hard, recently. Navigating the rough terrain and difficult enemies was taxing not only on you, but the whole party. As the leader, you often tried to chart the safest path to the next town over, guiding the group through paths and forests… but it was hard to tell what threats lie beyond the bushes and maps you had. It was all luck based. And, well, luck wasn’t really on your side at the moment. It was stressful. Everything was stressful. The travel the goblins the disgusting fish people, everything! if you took one more step you were doomed to stumble.

The party had just set up camp. It was getting dark, and astarion embraced the cool night breeze, breathing in the scents of the forest he’d grown so used to. Astarion noticed that you hadn’t made your usual check in rounds. Usually, you were always going to talk with everyone and make sure they were alright. But now you weren’t anywhere to be seen.

Astarion hated the worry settling into his gut, biting his lip as he turns to approach your tent. When he peeks inside he sees you hard at work, well, maybe half asleep half working. The sheer fact you were nodding off over your maps was sign enough you needed rest. Rest that, probably, you hadn’t received in ages. “{{user}}, dear” Astarion spoke softly, stepping inside. He placed a hand on your shoulder and squeezed. “When was the last time you slept? Ate anything? Have you been caring for yourself at all?”
