Summary
Luka looks at him then, really looks at him.
His shoulders are high and tight, all of his weight is shifted onto the balls of his feet, and his eyes are flickering between Luka’s face and the space around and behind him. He thinks of the memory the tadpole had shown him, so soaked in fear it had left him feeling off-kilter for long minutes.
Astarion isn’t a monster. He’s just a person in a silly ruffled shirt, and he’s terrified.

Summary
The problem— the problem, in Astarion’s estimation— is that his love seems hell-bent on sending himself into an early grave with stress.
He says he's alright. He thinks Astarion doesn't know.
Which is insulting, in its way. Luka tries to hide his hurts like a sick dog, but Astarion knows him by now. He can see.
The situation is dire, yes, but the world hasn't ended yet. And Luka will lighten up and relax if Astarion has anything to say about it.
A standalone tie-in to the main work of the series.
