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.
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?
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.
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.

What? Gods no. I had him look at my blood under something called a "microscope".
( science? they do not know her. )

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

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 ]
[ 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.
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.
Because either way you really shouldn't - but if it's the latter, how could I say no?
[ Hells. Now he has to scramble to get something for her. ]
( Sorry buddy. )
