send 🔪 to walk in on my muse standing over a dead body.
THE CAMP SO FAR HAD BEEN SECURE, a place that everyone could finally let their guard down and rest for the night. Astarion would disappear some nights in order to hunt for food, and on one such occasion he stumbled across a human- apparently in the middle of setting some sort of trap.
He kept to the shadows, watching with curiosity before he began to sneak towards them. Eyes darting to their open bag and spotting some cloves of garlic and stakes. Ah. Seemed Cazador had sent more hunters to bring him back. Unlike last time this happened, he had the element of surprise.
Careful not to draw attention, Astarion approached the hunter and drew his dagger. Before the human knew what was coming, he launched himself at the bastard. The scream was louder than Astarion had anticipated- hopefully not garnering any unwanted attention or more potential PROBLEMS.
As the lifeless body slumped, Astarion let it drop to the ground before him. Hearing a twig snap, the spawn is fast to spin around and hold his blade out, ready for another fight. Upon seeing that it was Rein, however, his lips split into a grin and he let his arm fall back to his side. "Oh hello! Did I wake you? I'm awfully sorry- just had to deal with an UNWANTED GUEST."
