    Summary

    Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."

    And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.

    Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.

    Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.

    Summary

    “I wish I could trust you to not break your promises, Astarion,” the devil said. “You know I don’t want to see you hurt.”

    The cold fear in his blood dropped in temperature another hundred degrees to something that could have frozen magma. The devil knew his name.

    The devil thought they had a bargain.

    Astarion didn’t remember.

    Summary

    All those of the Prime Material Plane have daemons, an external soul, though anything more specific than that is heavily debated. Each of the Tadfools have their own unique relationship with their daemon and, hopefully, can learn a thing or too from their traveling companions on how to better their relationship with their own.
