I've yet to start my own cult, which I think is quite the display of restraint. Otherwise it is the same: quiet, though colder now.

I'm torn between relief and disappointment!

I'm doing well, thank you for asking. I might've mentioned my employer before? Funny little man, not only is he an inventor, but he seems quite knowledgeable about medicine. More so than that lunatic Volo, anyway.

Don't worry, Astarion. In the event I do start one you'll be the first I invite to join.

Volo would likely avoid anything too important. But yes, you've mentioned him. Has he said anything about our particular shared problem?

That's putting an alarming amount of faith in the man.

What? Gods no. I had him look at my blood under something called a "microscope".

He has to be passible at something, since it certainly isn't being a bard.

A "microscope"? What could he possibly see with that?


( science? they do not know her. )

The goblins seemed to enjoy him well enough.

It's like a magnifying glass, but far more complex. Apparently blood is made up of thousands of red dots.

It was deeply underwhelming.

Like harkens to like, I suppose. Still, he did have a number of useful trinkets on him.

Red dots? That's it? I consider us both firmly in the camp of blood being an exciting part of our lives, but that sounds boring.

Did he? I always walked in the opposite direction whenever I saw him wandering my way. Never did get the chance to check his pockets...

It was. However, it seems as though they mean something to him and he wasn't entirely put off by my request that to look into a cure for vampirism, so...


[ Look, he's not holding his breath. But who knows? ]

A fake eye that let me see through any invisibility spell.

Then any step towards that is one worth taking. I know how much the potential of that must mean to you, red dots or no. If there's anything I can do, Astarion, you need only ask.

Although-- if he can see your vampirism through your blood, do you think he could sort out whatever the Hells is wrong with my head while he's at it?

Haelva.

Darling.

Dearest.

You let that wretched little free loader poke around in your eye socket, didn't you?


[ Don't lie to him this time ]

( Ugh. Even Haelva has to admit when she's caught. )

Out of everything else that had happened to me in those first few days, I figured I had very little to lose by indulging him.
ancunin: (pic#16799479)
Dec. 7th, 2023 06:48 am (UTC)
Oh of course. So very little. Just an eye.

[ Why was he carrying around a spare??

Anyway. ]


Well, it probably can't hurt to ask Viktor. At the very least you probably won't lose another eye.

Just tell me you're a good friend of mine.
durge: (pic#16795928)

Well, perhaps your Viktor will be talented enough to let me keep this one. And make me another -- as much as I enjoy scaring the local children with an empty socket.

Are you admitting that we're good friends, Astarion? I'm touched. Truly. Though I suppose it's hard to vouch for my sincerity over this means of communication.
ancunin: (pic#16798760)
Dec. 7th, 2023 11:19 pm (UTC)
Oh, have you tried fake blood spray on them? Or illusioning some bugs to fly out of the socket?

He'll have easy access for poking around, anyway.


[ Shouldn't even have to go near the other eye when he can just go through the empty socket! ]

Look, don't make me regret saying it.

Oh, good point. I'll be sure to mention that first thing.

I won't. Your secret is safe with me and Viktor. Though that does remind me: I've a gift for you when I see you next. Something about celebrating a winter holiday tradition.
ancunin: (pic#16799534)
Dec. 7th, 2023 11:59 pm (UTC)
Will it be one of those in the spirit of the season gifts or something I'll actually have use for?

Because either way you really shouldn't - but if it's the latter, how could I say no?
durge: (pic#16826933)
Dec. 8th, 2023 12:24 am (UTC)
I would hope the latter, but something tells me you're a hard man to please when it comes to gifts that aren't knives.

I mean, I wouldn't say no to a bottle of bloodwine or some new perfume, but you do know me so well.

[ Hells. Now he has to scramble to get something for her. ]

Ah, of course -- you're a man of expensive tastes. How could I forget.


( Sorry buddy. )
