Summary
Astarion peers back at you with interest before setting his wine down. “I, for one, think a game like this could be incredibly illuminating. Wouldn’t you say, darling?”
You don’t like the mischievous glint in his eyes, and you certainly don’t like the way the flagons of fire wine are starting to add up.

Summary
Cazador was dead: to begin with. There was no doubt whatever about that. Astarion had plunged a very beautiful knife a dozen times or more into his gut and left him in tattered shreds upon his ritually carven floor. The compulsion which had haunted the farthest reaches of his memory had vanished like mist with his master’s death.
Mind! It cannot be implied that there is a particular similarity between a vampire lord, who is un-dead, and a dead vampire, despite the mimicking shape of those descriptors. Neither bears real facility of life, true, with a beating heart and a cheek which might yet blush, but the one may wield an un-life never again to be possessed by the other, who will do little more than lie still and rot away into new earth. Cazador was a corpse, mouldering beneath the ground. In all ways he had been flung across that lofty river into the mundanity of real and final death. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing that follows will seem wondrous.

Summary
Astarion doesn't look up from the paper he holds. He sucks in a breath, to talk, and his voice is a horror. “They knew. My parents,” he spits. “They knew what had happened to me the entire time. They knew I had been taken by Cazador.”
