[As beautiful and awe-striking as the uppercity was, here in the underbelly of it all does Astarion feel the most comfortable. Here is where people are at their most honest, even as they think they're being clever and secretive. Their morals, their desperation, even their innocence; this is where it all shines through the veneer of overconfidence and grease.
Astarion explores one of the parlors, getting a feel for what is played in this realm. There are many games that feel familiar, even if the cards being used look different, and he's been leaning against a beam as he observes one of the card tables. Eventually, a couple seats open up and one of them is taken up by a man. Well, boy really, from the looks of his face. Dressed very oddly. And when he speaks, Astarion grins: speaking of innocents.
Pushing off the pole, he slips into the seat beside him.]
the only thing i've seen of eddie is his guitar fight w/ demons and it was all i needed to like him
