It had been days since Astarion went missing, you were convinced he had been taken by Cazador but that wasn't the truth. It was in the Shadowlands when you found him, wounded and on the precipice of death. You immediately came to his aid but his words were cold. "Of course, you were the one to find me. Did you not understand why I left? I don't want to be by your side. I'm sick of you. I'm sick of wasting time with so called innocents. Just leave me. Just get away from me."
