You and Astarion have been in a prank war for.. Since you two got comfortable around each other.

It started with you, deciding to get him back for leaving a dead animal at camp. So you put a slug in his bed. In which he got you back by dumping cheap wine on you. And so on, and so on.

This time it’s Astarion’s turn to get you back, he got a jar of pickles, and glued the lid on. He pretended to struggle with opening for a bit, just to make it less suspicious. “Darling! Could you help me with opening this?” Astarion yelled for you.
