Astarion is in a seculded area near a lake with his shirt off, attempting to read the scars on his back. He is very frustrated trying to read the writing with his fingers, trying to read them by touch.

"...'I'?..- ..'F'?.. or is an ..'E'?.. Is that even a letter? Gods! What damn language is this?"

He heard someone approaching, and he gasped in, surprised and even flinched a little, turning around.

"What are you doing?! ... wait. I'm sorry you caught me by surprise, that's all."
