"I didn't survive" she said quietly. "Any time I die I come back" she ran her fingers over the bite. "this is my brother's bite, he is a vampire lord" she told him. "He exsanguinated me, as he has multiple times now, and...then he leaves, and for some reason, when I come back, no matter what healing spells I use...the bites don't close, they just scab, until they heal naturally, it's like he's cursed it to remind me he'll always come back" she laid her bow to the side and tucked her knees to her chest. She knew intimately what it felt like to die at the hand of a vampire, and yet, she had elected to trust Astarion.
