[Everything seemed to be going so well, but it turns out Astarion isn't suddenly free from all negative thoughts just because they're dating. Anger? At Johnny? Sure, Taryon can be uncomfortable with his sexual comments, but it's nothing he can't manage.
...Should he have warned Astarion that Johnny is a crude man? Another piece of evidence that Taryon could have prevented all of this if he were more forthcoming.]
Alright. Good to know.
I'm not Tav, you know. I may not be aware of what exactly happened, but that's a conversation for later.
[He isn't free of his nastier faults, and as he has this conversation he wonders if he can be. Does someone like him dare to hope for happiness? After all he has done, after everything Cazador has done to break him?]
You're not him, no. And that's good.
[He frowns at the last message. Part of him wants to protest this. Astarion wants to see him, badly. He had apologized, hadn't he?
But he closes his eyes, tells himself to calm down. Don't be so ridiculous.]

I think I need some time alone.

All right. I will wait for you.
