I gave up on trying to control you when you made the foolish decision of going against the goblins instead of picking the path of lesser resistance, dear. I am merely, actively, trying to let you know that you are making a terrible decision and being rather stupid.
[Being petty and annoying was his specialty, he was so going to embrace it. Her words, her kindness, her determination, they all made his heart melt a little and Astarion knew he couldn't afford such things.
Did he have any real plan? No. WAs it a good idea to march toward the Absolutists? Absolutely not. But getting out of the camp was going to help him clear his head and figure out his next personal step. The feelings he had just by studying her heartbeat, seeing the color in her face and being so close- no, in his dream-like scenarios he was the one who was lifted between Drizz Do'Urden's arms and was carried away on the man's phanter to safety. He could concede that at least there was a match on the lavender eyes, maybe he had a type and he didn't even know, but that was beside the point. He was the one elegantly taken to safety in his fantasies, not the one trying to do something stupid to protect someone else.
Yet there he was.
With Baldur's Gate's walls greeting them in the distance, with the sun falling behind the horizon and the last rays of light kissing the Tiefling in the most beautiful way, acting like- an idiot. He took a deep breath, knowing he had to stop things from getting worse and worse.]
You're right. I wouldn't have you any other way. But as you take your own decisions, I take mines.
[He lived with a strong and newfound respect for his personal boundaries, especially when it came to physical consent, but for once he was going to break his new rules to indulge in just a bit more. If he was going to part ways with them, with her, he wanted just one good thing to take with himself. his hands slowly moved from her back to her shoulders and he closed his eyes for a moment. At least he was going to run away with a good memory, even if a discutible one. In a moment the vampire closed the distance between them, stealing the chastest of kisses and barely brushing her lips. Afraid to do anything more, to cross even further a line he wasn't supposed to, he almost immediately pushed her back.]
Well then, my dear... [He tapped his imaginary hat.] Goodbye.
[Taking advantage of Misty Steps, he was already on the ground floor, running toward the forest they left behind just few hours ago.]
