@driftingjazzbard from here:

He pursed his lips, less pleased with the wording than was strictly necessary, mostly because he'd been what he thought was fairly active in actually trying to do good rather than just make everything less bad. "That's a very pessimistic view," he noted, though there was no offense or hostility in the tone, at least.

He couldn't afford that sort of pessimism, not if he actually wanted to get anything done. Because the moment he began to think of his work as simply, not the worst, the moment his efforts became minimal, he knew.

"I think it's possible," he countered this time, looking to her and watching the construction of the pipes. "That sometimes we do actual good. Make something better in such a way that it's more than just not bad." He gestured to the instrument. "Like your work there, for instance. Something beautiful. Something better. That can happen with people, too."

|| @driftingjazzbard asked: ❝ i see you’re not getting much sleep either. should i make us both some tea, then? ❞

"Did I disturb you?" he says, apologetic as Erin's soft voice breaks through the cool night. He doesn't start at her approach, he'd recognise her footsteps on any surface, he suspects, but stone is most familiar.

"I'll make it. You sit, stay warm. Would you like it with honey?"

"Would you like some ginger ale, princess?"

"Will it help?"

Well it's good he's having fun. She'll go ahead and make some food for when he gets back from this particular conquest.

Nope, that mischievous long tail of his coils around her mid-section and gently pulls her back.

"You didn't think I forgot about you love~?"

(Part of the tragedy with Cazador is because of how vampirism works, every single impulse he has is perverted to its worst form. Pride becomes ego, passion becomes obsession, love becomes ownership. It's why if you read his mind, you can hear whoever he used to be begging for it to end.)

That's pretty cool though, did not know about the mind reading easter egg. I'm way more of a Raphael scholar than a Cazzy scholar 😂

That's what makes him so awful and so tragic, trapped inside the corruption of his own nature. Everything that might've been good in him got twisted into something monstrous, and now he's both the abuser and the victim of it. The whole cazador/astarion thing is pretty much an endless cycle of abuse and I really dig dynamics like that. hopelessly devoted to manipulative villains 😭

@driftingjazzbard repiled: Erin's eyebrows go up and she scoots forward a bit. "Okay, what? If there were sirens they'd have to look like you to turn his head."

"Logically I know this, but emotionally I feel like a school girl grumping because a hypothetical other person said hi to her crush." Crowe sighed then offered Erin a smile. "Seems both of us are a bit off today."

@driftingjazzbard replied to your post “"Like it's MY FAULT that all my alts wanna try n'...”:

"Hon, it might be significant that person you're most willing to beat up on is yourself..."

"They hate me 'cause they' ain't me. ....I mean, like, they are me, but they AIN'T ME, ya'know--"

DENIAL. NOPE. HE'S NOT OPENING THAT CAN OF WORMS.
