[It's hot and miserable and cramped in this blasted space. And though he accommodations could be worse, and the company more so, it's difficult for Astarion not to find something to whine about eventually. Let's be real.
It's boredom during this long and continuous travels, with the scenery never seeming to change. But boredom, at least, he can redirect. Where you at in here, March? He approaches.]
