It felt like his emotions changed every five seconds when he was with Astarion, now. Even if it was understandable, it was uncomfortable. Still... "Of course. It's been some time since I've seen the surface, after all..."
Astarion could see the discomfort in Sebastian's expression. What the source was, he could not tell. Still, he put on a bright smile. "Excellent! I'll be certain to let my siblings know you will be leaving with me. I still have some business to attend to here, but... I am looking forward to showing you the ropes, so to speak."
He reached out tentatively to place a hand on Sebastian's shoulder. Just a brief squeeze before he removed his touch. It still felt... odd to be around Sebastian. A living reminder of his shame. Well, not quite living.
"Until then. Pack light. I'll come fetch you tomorrow night. And don't go about making your siblings jealous!" He gave a melodic laugh, an attempt to cut any tension between them.
