Summary
Tav's moon-blood is in, and her part-time lover Halsin says this is not a time for sex, but a time for her to rest, and heal, and restore the balance of her body.
But Astarion has no interest in the balance - he wants her blood. And he's not particular about what part of her body it comes from.

Tav took one more deep breath, before she began to make her way downstairs. She tried to keep her naked thighs together, to stop the blood dripping down her leg, as she crept through the dark inn.

She made it halfway to his door before it opened. He leaned out, snatched at her, and yanked her inside. He slammed the door without regard for who was listening, and shoved her hard up against it.
"Hello darling," he growled. "Here for a cuddle?"
Tav took his hand and guided it between her bloodstained thighs.
"No," she said. "But are you thirsty?"
