Hes So Awful - Tumblr Posts
Anne’s been jumpy since last night. In all of his ramblings and his non-apologies, not once did something like a justification slip out from between Astarion’s lips. Without a rhyme or a reason to assign to it, old fears have risen from the dead at his bite, necromanced by a thoughtless vampire’s attempt to feed. The ease of the past several days is gone. Anne had actually relaxed into a sort of friendliness with Astarion, comforted by the acerbic bite of his wit that had so well-paired with the lashing nature of her tongue, but she can’t help regretting that now.
Why was hers the neck he’d picked?!
Anger, hurt, betrayal, confusion, fear—all built up in the absence of an explanation, and none of it of the shade expected of her. She didn’t care what his worser nature was, only that he’d turned it upon her. Her. Where she’d seen a friend, a rare thing for herself, he’d seen a meal. But what had made her look so easy to revictimize?
“Oh, I’ll stay angry for as long as I damned well please. And for what? Huh? Why in the fuck do ye think I deserve to stay so mad?” It’s as clear from her rapid fire succession of questions as it is from the scalding tone of her voice that she expects no answers, yet she keeps going. The bright spark of her rage is lit but from a new angle. Rather than barbaric violence pouring out comes a prickling of tears and a new sensation: outrage.
“The hells had I done to become a midnight fuckin snack?! Huh?!!”
@neverhangd sent: ❛ i'm the asshole? what does that make you then? ❜
❛ Oh darling, if I'm anything, I'm far more than an asshole. ❜
He lets out a soft chuckle, rich and velvety. ❛ But if we’re assigning roles, let’s just say I’m the charming vampire spawn——the one who makes all the worst decisions but does it with such irresistible flair you simply can’t stay angry with him for long. ❜ His eyes flicker with something mischievous, his coy way of once again trying to soften the edge of his misstep the other night. When he tried to bite her.
