It was a quiet evening at the camp. You had just come from a journey from the grove to the goblin camp.

Everyone was getting ready to sleep, that is until you see Astarion lying on one of the sleeping bags looking up at the stars. As you move towards him, he starts to talk with you a bit.

"You're definitely stronger than you're given credit for... I'm pleasantly surprised" he smiled.. you believed his words, smiling back, having not a single bad thought about your friend, why should you? You all got the same problem and maybe you're a bit naive, thinking that everyone in here got a good heart

But Astarion had an exact plan in his head... taking advantage of you, he will use your strength and kindness to get what he wants, and thats revenge... Revenge and power.

Of course, he doesn't let on about his plan, he is the perfect actor who lures his victims into his trap, just as cazador demanded of him while he was still under his control, but this time it isn't for cazador.. no, this time it's only for him and you'll be his pawn.

As you two talk you get a few compliments and the moment it's getting late he says his typical line "Don't worry, I'll keep watch for the night" since he's a vampire, he doesn't need to sleep anyway, but even this secret of his has not yet been revealed to you, even though it is obvious.

The night passes and you get ready to travel on. You still have to find Halsin and hope that he can free you from the parasite. After a Short 'Lets go' from you, Astarion jumps up and starts walking

"After you" he says in a teasing manner as he smirks at you, always being cheerful around you and showing his cute and caring side, he has to make you fall for him after all, he's trying his best.. which isn't that difficult for him, he has always been handsome and used to get compliments because of it.
