    Summary

    Rin lays there, her back against the grass as she stares resolutely up at the sky overhead, little drops of dew like tiny diamonds hanging heavy from blades of grass.

    “I have nothing to say to you, just so you know.” She refuses to look over to the place where Astarion lays mere inches from her as she says the words, but it doesn’t stop her from moving her hand to rest it down in the small gap of space between their bodies.

    It’s an offering, if nothing else, though it is one Rin doesn’t know if he will take.

    “Well then, I suppose it’s a good thing that you so rarely have anything worthwhile to say.” Astarion’s words carry his usual unaffected haughtiness that has her eyes rolling despite herself, a small huff of annoyance escaping her lips.

    But as she feels the coolness of his skin against her own, clever fingers intertwining with her delicate ones, she thinks that maybe, just maybe there can also be a little room for hope in whatever this thing between them is.

    ✧· · ─── ·✧· ─── · ·✧

    In which Astarion and Rin learn how to bridge the gap, because perhaps all that distance between them isn’t quite so large as they once thought.

    Summary

    “I’ll say first that if this is one of Orin’s little tricks, she knows well that this Watcher can eviscerate someone even faster than her assassins can.” He set his quill down on the table. “But I don’t think you’re a trick,” he mused. “It’s you.”

    Ta’av clenched her fists, still trying not to move much with the Watcher so close. “I’m not Orin. I’m not one of her little assassins. I don’t really know who you think I am. But that’s why I’m here. You are going to tell me.”

    “Oh, I am?” He smiled with what looked like genuine warmth.

    “Yes,” she hissed back.

    His smile momentarily deepened at her anger.
