Sorin was still awake as he rarely chooses
to sleep especially after losing avacyn every now and then he would look at astarion whom was deeply asleep poor guy definitely needed it the elf has suffered a lot from what he can tell something sorin noticed was that astarion seemed afraid of him if there first interaction was anything to go by he couldn't help but wonder what that cazador did to him there's also the matter of the tadpole in his brain thinking it over sorin decided he would help astarion find a way to remove the tadpole besides astarion was interesting company and he'd be lying if said he wasn't somewhat lonely the vampire lord was suddenly pulled from his train of thought when he heard astarion screaming he quickly rushed to the spawns side astarion was violently thrashed about in his sleep screaming and was covered in sweat he was having a nightmare

sorin: astarion hey astarion wake up your safe sorin said gently shaking the elf awake

Astarion

Astarion awoke with a jolt he was panting and covered in a cold sweat he realized he was outside and he was on his bedroll he was away from baldurs gate far away from cazador he got startled when he turned to his side seeing the vampire lord he met sorin was his name so close next to him
With a look of concern in his golden eyes

sorin: are you okay you looked to be having a nightmare astarion: I'm fine the elf said looking away he still didn't trust this vampire sorin: do you want to talk about it

astarion: I bairly know you and trusting others is something that I don't do easily let alone with other vampires astarion said still looking away

sorin: well I choose not to sleep and you don't look like your going to fall back to sleep anytime soon so why don't we don't we try to get to know each other sorin said looking at the elf

astarion: sure why not you go first though astarion said turning to face the taller vampire

sorin: alright then my name is Sorin markov I'm from innistrad and I learn other languages in my spare time

astarion: well my name is astarion ancunin I'm from baldurs gate and I was a magistrate and so the two spent the night slowly getting to know learn about one another and not revealing certain details they weren't ready to reveal just yet
