[ That Astarion believes him deserving is β too pleasing, his mouth curving lopsided and high.
He thinks to wear a shirt he packed at the last minute, cornflower blue, because Astarion complimented the cut when he donned it the prior summer. This presents two issues: 1. That Astarion might remember. 2. That he wonβt. Both mortify, and so he resolves never to wear it again.
Instead, he cycles through the rest of his modest belongings, for something appropriate. A lavender button-down. A short-sleeved, silken shirt in off-white.

Iβll admit I packed with the hope youβd find time for me.
