After several months on the road, bouncing from place to place, it was finally nice to have a rest. The towns people you saved recently insisted that you and astarion be celebrated as their honored guests at the summer solstice festival.

Dancing lights flicker in the sky casting golden light on the dancing people, conjured by a band of bards. Wine, mead, ale, and every other sort of alcohol you could want flow like honey. At your request, the townsfolk even collected the blood of the heifer acting as the banquet centerpiece. That way, even Astarion could feel included.

The vampire is off to the side, pretending to be put off by the celebrations. In so much time, it seems he's still the same. He quirks his lips into a small smile as you approach him, relenting with a sigh.

"You know, I never thought I would learn to enjoy this part of adventuring. Truthfully, I always saw it as something I would have to suffer through… but… I think I'm starting to rather enjoy seeing people praise me."
