[binah-beloved]

cat Binah with a soft tummy, fur thick like storm clouds. she sleeps sprawled out in a pile, inviting anyone and everyone to pet her fur, to scratch her stomach. only to immediately bite and claw at anyone who dares touch her. and she purrs, smugly, when they withdraw.

you're the only one allowed to pet her softest fur. you and Binah, tilting her head at this strangely familiar black cat looking so pleased with herself.

Recent Work

Still working really hard to get things in order. I wanted to add a silly sketch style like the Pentos & Sarabonney up there but with snacks, sweets or drinks... but I can't add any more options on VGen until I get verified, which I am not. I haven't actually been commissioned once there, nor do I meet the friend requirements. I don't actually know if it's worth it at all and I'm better off sticking with Ko-Fi... Advice from those in the know is welcome!

We have a conversation with Astarion pop up after that dialogue with Sebastian - unsurprisingly.

"Gods above. He kept Sebastian. I feel ill... all the fools and villains who ever fell for my ploys... they're here..."

His voice is high-pitched, frantic. Not afraid, not really, but certainly agitated. Not grieved, not exactly, but appalled.

The unspoken cry... I didn't know this was happening! I didn't know what I was condemning them to!

"If what you told me is true," Hector says neutrally, "that's a colossal sum of souls..." It is taking a certain amount of effort for him to keep his voice even, to avoid lashing out at Astarion in lieu of Cazador for the abject awfulness of the situation.

Astarion scowls. "There's only one reason they'd all still be here," he mutters. "He must need them for the ritual. Each of the seven... we must have brought in a thousand over the decades... They're all lambs for his slaughter."

A long, long pause, and then he goes on, not meeting Hector's eyes. "And if I was to take his place... they'd all die by my hand. Everyone who ever trusted me enough to let down their guard... Innocents, idiots..." He laughs bitterly. "And the unlucky." His shoulders square and his fists clench to hide the trembling in his fingers. "It doesn't matter. I will need to sacrifice them all if I want to perform the ritual."

Well. That answers that question - he does indeed intend to take Cazador's power for himself, no matter the cost. And Hector does not want him coming anywhere near such a decision. Astarion has always craved power, and Hector does not trust him with it. The elf has been far too hurt, and had far too little time to heal, for him to use it wisely.

"You can save them," he points out, wondering if he has any chance of convincing Astarion of this alternative. He thinks-- or at least desperately hopes-- that there is some part of Astarion that is desperate for a way out of this situation that does not involve such terrible blood on his hands.

"What's the point?" Astarion snaps back. "They're as good as dead. I thought they *were* dead." He shakes his head, fumbling for some stable ground to stand on in the conversation. "If they are unleashed, they will cause incredible carnage," he points out. "They will be ravenous. They must die-- better they serve a purpose."

Privately, Hector wonders if he has some sort of point there; the thousand spawn are another issue entirely and one that he is not entirely sure how to answer. But he is sure that Astarion succumbing to the lure of pure, unmitigated power and the cruelty that comes with it is not the answer.

He looks at the elf steadily for a long moment. "This isn't you, Astarion," he says. "Not really."

"It should be!" Astarion snarls defensively. "I don't want to be like them! They're pathetic... horrible..." He trails off into silence, rubs at his forehead with both hands.

Hector hesitates, then takes a slight step closer to him. "Show them the kindness you never saw," he says gently. "No one deserves this fate."

Astarion's fists clench again and he flinches, turning fully away from Hector now. "Don't hate me..." he says in a low voice. "Astarion's fists clench again and he flinches, turning fully away from Hector now. "Don't hate me..." he says in a low voice. "I just did what I had to. I swear... I did what I had to..."

-----

There's a long silence.

"Is that what you think?" Hector asks. "That I hate you?"

"Well, don't you?" Astarion snaps, not looking up. "Hector Carlisle, patron of every charity case in the Lower City, dispenser of smooth Selunite wisdom at every turn? Why shouldn't you?"

Hector frowns. "I don't hate you, Astarion. I hate what you were put through-- that you made more slaves does not make you less of a slave yourself."

"Oh, please." Astarion rounds on him sharply. He's recovered himself a little, and is retreating from the appalled strain into more familiar anger. "You think I can't tell what you're thinking? That I'd be a monster for taking on the ritual in Cazador's stead?"

Another long pause. "Yes," Hector finally says quietly. "I think you would become a monster. Not by your fault, but because such power as Cazador wields corrupts all that it touches. You are not a monster now - but I do not believe you are immune to it. Any more than I would be." He shakes his head. "But I do not think you are one now."

"You were trapped," Karlach adds unexpectedly from beside him. "Look at me, Astarion. You think none of us understand what it's like to be stuck in something you can't fix, and have to do terrible shit? You think you're alone in that?"

Astarion blinks. His fists loosen almost imperceptibly at his sides. "It's-- not the same--" he stammers out.

"Course not. I only had ten years of that shit, and you had two hundred," Karlach says bluntly. "But now we're both out. So what do we do? Better? Or worse?"

Astarion says nothing for a long time. His eyes flick between them all rapidly, searching for a hint of disingenuousness, of judgment. Whatever he sees, he doesn't respond, just turns away and stalks off down the corridor. "We need to keep moving."

Mini rolan straddling tavs finger and grinding desperately while tav tugs on his little tail. Gently pinches him between their thumb and forefinger to increase the pressure. Rolan biting the pad of their finger to keep that stupid miniatures voice down

GROAN.

Tav holding him trapped in one hand while they touch themselves; just until their finger smells so deliciously of their scent that when they put Rolan on it, he’s almost overwhelmed. They smell so good, he could almost drown in it - when he licks it from their finger, rubs his face and body in it until he’s marked by their scent - he almost comes on the spot.

mmmm and tav encouraging the grinding by toying with his tail and then pressing him down with their thumb, taunting him <3
