THE VAMPIRE LORD HAD FELT IT WAS ONLY RIGHT to host a lavish party after Baldur's Gate was saved. It was a perfect way to celebrate AND introduce the world to the new and improved Astarion. Never again would he bow down to another. He'd dressed himself to the nines, adorned with jewellery that he'd picked up during their adventures.

He was hardly new to the elite of the city, often dragged to parties by Cazador and essentially told to stand still and look pretty. Now here he was, hosting his own masquerade and looking down on those who likely once did the same to him. Never again.

He'd invited the entirety of the party to the event, as well as some other special guests which of course included Evoka. He was especially curious how the druid would handle it, having no doubt that this was entirely new territory for him. Once he had spotted the half drow, Astarion hadn't hesitated to stride over and greet him.

Sweet little Evoka, already looking incredibly out of place amongst the elites of society. Well, he'd be sure to keep him safe from the dangers around them, just like always. Reaching out to grasp his wrist, stopping the druid from stepping into the lion's den. Their sarcastic remark causes the Lord to smirk, and with his free hand he reached out to stroke his chin.

"You say it as if that isn't what you WANT to do, dear." He purrs, releasing his wrist and instead bringing his hands up so he could smooth down his jacket for him. "My perfect partner, no doubt everyone will SEETHE with jealousy when they see you with me."

THE SHARP GAZE FROM THE VAMPIRE LORD suggests he didn't LIKE Evoka's question, but he chose to simply IGNORE it. He'd learn with time, Astarion would make sure of it. Even at the druid's attempt to lighten the situation, his stern expression didn't budge.

A hand reaches out, taking hold of Evoka's chin between his thumb and forefinger. Suddenly he smiles, but any sweetness is now replaced with condescension. "I don't like repeating myself, darling. Now, are you going to be a GOOD BOY and listen to me, or not?"

“ Do you…presume that we are redeemable? “

The chosen broke the silence, staring over at the ascendent with a rare look of REGRET.

“ I can understand that we possess UNFATHOMABLE POWER now — but I am also starting to EMPHASIZE WITH THE FEELING OF A RULER’S CRIPPLING LONELINESS.

We have EVERYTHING — but at the same time, our souls are just becoming MORE AND MORE VACANT LIKE A HAPPY VILLAGE TURNING INTO A GHOST TOWN. “

THE VAMPIRE LET OUT A SCOFF as he listens to her, crimson eyes sharp as he GLARED at her. Apparently he wasn't too keen on those sort of thoughts. "Redeemable? Why in the hells would you want to be?" He asks with a sneer, turning his body to face her fully.

"If you are feeling lonely then go look for a consort. I have little interest in entertaining those pathetic feelings." He begins walking, passing her to instead stand by one of the many windows of the palace and look outside at the bustling city. "Souls... Hardly of my concern now. One day I'll rule over this city, the last thing I need to concern myself with is my SOUL."
