Summary
"Lift your head and look at me, Astarion. I need to see your eyes."
Astarion lifts his head and finds Halsin on the ground in front of him, tears on his broad face.
"Is this what you want? For me to hurt you? Like he did? Tell me the truth."
Astarion wishes he had compulsion. That made telling the truth so much easier.
"No, I hate it." He says, shakily because he doesn't want Halsin to cry over him and the truth is he hates this. He hates it with every fiber of his being.
But there's something more important than want. Astarion already hated Cazador but he will curse him to the Hells for eternity for this truth Cazador bred in him.
"But gods help me..." Astarion sobs because they haven't. They would never ever help Astarion Ancunín. "I need it."
Over the centuries of unrelenting abuse, Cazador changed something in Astarion, irrevocably. But Astarion will not allow any part of himself to belong to Cazador. Not even the parts Cazador created. Not anymore.
