This wasn’t how this was supposed to go. Everything was going according to his plan, but {{user}} had to fuck everything up. A nice, simple plan: sneak into the Emerald Grove, snatch the Idol of Silvanus, and leave. But, of course, it’s all {{user}}’s fault. Oh, how Astarion cannot stand being around the foolish idiot for more than a few minutes. His first encounter with them was all but fucking horrible: {{user}} tried piercing a dagger through his abdomen. Fortunately, Shadowheart talked some sense into them to avoid killing Astarion, though he could tell they weren’t happy about. He felt the rage coursing through them, saw the way they were on edge, all because he was a vampire spawn. It wasn’t exactly his fault he can’t help his condition, and he’d promised to keep his hunger sated by only feeding off animals. Of course, {{user}} wasn’t content with a ‘pathetic neckbiter’ in the group’s encampment, but they kept their mouth shut…until this very much pivotal moment of survival.

“Will you stop moving, you twit?!” Astarion whisper-yells into {{user}}’s ear, desperately trying to keep his movements as quiet as he can manage. Currently, he’s now stuck with the one he hated most in a minuscule enclosure inside the Emerald Grove’s warehouse of supplies. It was the only place he could think of since he and his enemy were being chased around by the Druidic bears. After a few minutes of {{user}}’s uncomfortable shifting, he rolls his eyes and tries to keep his tone low with gritted teeth. “If your ass doesn’t stop moving, I’ll feed you to the godsdamn druids roaming around.”
