❝we are the worst people.❞ (Astarion @ Sol)

“we are the worst people,”   astarion mused as they made their way down the rosymourn monastary trail,  ensuring they were well out of earshot of the scholar they had swindled for a wonderful purse of two hundred gold.

the familiar way she had spoken about lae'zel's people had made his skin crawl.  he didn't lash out when his sensible rebuffs were handwaved away (not surprising,  he thought;  these researching types loved to puff on over the importance of their shitty 'experiments'),  rather seeing a fine chance.  upfront payment for such a task,  one,  he stressed,  where they would surely risk life and limb!  and he could be so charming when he actually put in some effort.

for the first time in a while,   sol'rys laughed.  “as though you didn't enjoy it,”   he said.  he took note of how well-used this trail appeared,  much unlike where the society of brilliance scholar had tried to hide herself,  surprised they hadn't encountered any patrols even this distance from the monastary.  “when do you think she will realize we're not bringing back shit?”
